Pressured by his nasty wife Helen Vinson into working in her family's business, Warner Baxter abandons both his job and his marriage to start life anew as the owner of a racehorse, Broadway Bill. Baxter runs into trouble with fees, jockeys, gamblers, the law, and an often-ill horse, but
he receives emotional support from Vinson's understanding, charming sister Myrna Loy. Broadway Bill wins the climactic race, but dies in the Winner's Circle. Having lost his championship horse, Baxter finds solace in the loving arms of Loy. Enjoyable track picture is given an extra dash of
excitement and humor by director Frank Capra. Baxter is a likable hunk in the lead role, but Loy steals the show with her elegant wit.
