Badger silent horse racing sports gambling romantic fantasy melodrama ("From the story 'Heavenbent' by Gerald Beaumont"; kind of like a Twilight Zone episode from decades later, where a jockey mysteriously receives the ability to create rain right before a race, so he is able to pick winners based on how the horses perform in the rain, and that makes him wealthy and lets him find love, but then he mysteriously loses his power at just the wrong time!) starring William Collier Jr., Georgia Hale, Ernest Torrence, Joseph J. Dowling, and Tom Wilson (a large white man who specialized in playing black roles in the early silent days when studios were reluctant to hire African Americans; he would put burnt cork on his face and skin!; he appeared in The Kid, but not in a black role).
