Roy Del Ruth film; Barney Oldfield, Patsy Ruth Miller, Russell Simpson
| released: 1927 Jun 27 | duration: 1:17:03 |
Hank owns horses, stables horses, and races horses. His favorite horse always wins and he is prosperous and well-known. His son Bob, however, dreams only of the future of the horseless carriage and not of the horse. This causes problems between Hank and Bob. As the people in the town convert from horses to autos, Hank detests those who switch, so he loses his friends, his son Bob, and finally his livery business. Bob leaves his flame Rose and goes to Detroit, gets involved with the auto industry and does very well. He does not forget Hank and promises to see him again, but Hank's hatred of the auto may cause Bob's death.
