# Wild Beauty Reel 1

Part 1 of a silent feature. The film was broken into reels approximately 15 minutes in length for the rental market. "Art Hemming, a young American soldier, brings a filly that he has saved from shellfire back to his California ranch. He falls in love with Nancy Cunningham, whose father maintains a racing stable; and though in financial difficulty, he hopes to retrieve his fortune in a forthcoming race. Bull Kennedy, hearing of Thunderhoof, a wild horse, plans to capture him and defeat the colonel; he tricks the colonel into a bet, then has his men capture the horse. Thunderhoof escapes and tries to lure the filly, Valerie, away; and the colonel's horse is incapacitated by Thunderhoof in a fight. Kennedy recaptures Thunderhoof, and Art rides Valerie against him as the Cunningham entry; Art wins the race and Nancy, and the colonel pays off the mortage."
