Hello? You're nice in here.

Come on, boy. Come on.

There's a fine beast you got there, Miguel. Fine beast.

Why don't you put it through its paces? Go on.

He's the finest horsewoman in Europe.

See you, Miguel.

Watch it, watch it, watch it.

Oh, beauty!

Oh, God!

What's the matter with you?

How dare you take my horse?

You can keep her, but a donkey.

Black beauty is a thoroughbred.

A thoroughbred what? It's a thorough nuisance. How dare you talk about him

that? It's not right. No, it isn't. Now, now, now, be careful, miss.

My name's Jenny Gordon, and I want to know why this girl took my horse. Well,

now... All right. All right. Now, what's all this about?

Ah, well, it's a trivial misunderstanding, officer, sir. A

misunderstanding, my daughter. I spirited, you understand.

No harm meant at all, sir. No harm at all.

And who might you be, sir?

Who might I be?

I'll tell you who I am.

Would you be so kind, sir? Thank you. I am, in fact, ladies and gentlemen, that

unique impresario.

that fair -grounded, magnificent, that showman extraordinary, J.

Otis. Way good.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, in this back, this very back, I

have ten golden sovereigns ready and waiting for anyone

who is capable of outriding me fair daughter here.

in a race which will be held this very afternoon at three of the clock.

And ladies and gentlemen, the entrance fee, the entrance fee

is a mere one sovereign.

One sovereign.

Did I have any challenges for this race?

Will no one accept me challenge?

To race against a mere slip of a girl like this, yeah.

Well, there we go, Governor.

Ah, one.

Thank you, kind sir. Thank you.

A sovereign's an awful lot of money, beauty.

Come on, sir.

Thank you very much, kind sir.

I thought for one moment, ladies and gentlemen.

Who do you belong to, then, eh?

Well,

we done it, Dolly McGirl, didn't we?

Go on. Up you go.

Good girl.

But I've got the sovereign grandfather gave me for Christmas.

No, I've told you I will not have beauty raced. Oh, did you get my watch?

Oh, I forgot to tell you. Mr. Hilton says it's not worth repairing it. It's

out, he says.

Look, I know we could win, Father.

We should be lost without this. I just know we could.

No, that's enough, Jenny.

We could win. He just doesn't understand.

Jenny, look, I'm sure he does.

It's just that a sovereign is a great deal of money. But I'd get it back after

I'd won.

And ten more.

Besides, I could buy a lovely watch with that.

A watch?

Yes, fathers can't be repaired.

That's why I want to win the race.

I know how much he needs one. And he can't afford it. He simply can't.

Supposing you didn't win?

I would, though, because of the watch.

Why, it could be dangerous.

Not with beauty.

Jenny, go upstairs and get my money box from my dressing table.

And

whom do I

have the honour of addressing, sir?

I own most of the land round here. My name's Armstrong.

If you attempt to run this ridiculous steeplechase of yours, I shall make sure

you do some running yourself.

And you won't stop till you're out of the county.

One moment, kind sir, one moment.

Fine horse, sir, fine horse.

I beg you, kind sir, won't you reconsider as a sportsman, sir?

Sportsman? The ragtag and bobtail of the village careering over my land.

Oh, I've been most careful in choosing the course, haven't I, Dolly, my dear?

Yes, yes, Your Honor, ever so.

I have here a rough map, sir.

Of course, I do realize the grave error in not asking your permission first.

These woods here.

Yes, Elmsworth woods, sir, Elmsworth. I believe they're common ground, sir.

By heaven, it's a long, hard run.

Yes, against me daughter here.

Just a slip of a girl, sir, but a brilliant rider, brilliant.

Unbeatable, in fact, sir.

Unbeatable, eh?

Yes.

You're too sure of yourself, girl.

Am I?

I've a mind to teach you a lesson.

You may be the one to learn, sir.

Fifty golden sovereigns, I can beat her with ease.

Fifty. Done.

Dolly. Way good.

Accept the bet or the race is off.

Well, then, Mr.

Armstrong, I'll have to accept.

We're in the money, Dolly McGill. We're in the money.

Thanks to old Squire Armstrong.

Are you sure it'll work, Pa?

Come here.

I'll show you.

Sure.

After it, I'll never catch you.

Well, just in case, I've got to rig a tripwire.

Right here.

Oh, I don't like it. Ah, the bets I've taken already.

This race is worth a great deal of money, Dolly McGill.

A great deal of money.

I can't afford to take any chances.

You're going to win this race, Dolly McGill.

And I don't give a fig how you're going to do it.

I

know

you, don't I?

Hey,

you're Ned Lewis, aren't you?

And I know you, Jim Waygood, one of the slipperiest villains in London.

Oh, Neddy.

Where's Waygood?

He went on ahead this round, so make sure nobody cut any corners.

Oh, fine.

Yes, I'll enter the sovereign, Doctor.

But your irresponsibility quite staggers me, Miss Winthrop.

You knew I'd forbidden her to enter the race.

Don't be so pompous, Doctor Gordon.

Pompous? Yes, pompous.

Pompous and tyrannical.

Blasted animals, heavens above. Go on, out of the way. Shoo, shoo.

Get out of the way. Shoo, shoo.

Go on, get out of the way.

Well, that's close to my race.

Here,

come on, Dolly.

I'll do the little girl left in the race, and you're well ahead of her. All

right. There's 50 guineas in it. Remember, darling, you're doing a

job. Now, go on over here and get it. Come on.

Lovely girl.

Ned, what are you doing?

Ned, what are you doing? Ned, what are you doing?

Ned, what are you doing? Ned, what are you doing? Ned, what are you doing?

Ned, what are you doing?

Ned,

what are you doing? Ned, what are you doing? Ned,

what are you doing?

Jenny!

Ned! Jenny!

Are you all right? Yes, I'm fine. Beauty? Yes, he's fine.

Oh, good.

Well, what about Waygood?

Don't worry about Waygood. It's important that you win. Now, come on.

can't. It's impossible.

Look, don't argue. Come on, you've got to win. Now, come on.

Okay?

Yes. But, Ned, why did you jump on Waygood? Look, I'll explain later. Now,

on. Go on, Jenny.

Thank you.

All right, Dolly?

Yeah, I think so. No thanks to you.

Sir.

There's still a mile to run, Dolly.

No tricks.

No tricks.

Right, you be the starter, Ned.

But, Dolly, what... It's up to you now, beauty.

Ready?

On your mark.

Get set.

Go. Go on. Go on. Go on, Jenny.

Go on, girl.

It was only a joke, son.

It was only a joke.

Yeah, well, tell that to the village and the squire.

Well done, lad. Well done. Thank you.

Well done.

Well done. Well,

do you want fair and square?

Not me. Beauty.

Goodbye.

When you've done that, you can scrub the kitchen floor and polish the stairs.

Yes, father.

And have a pile of soaps at me, darling.

Yes, father.

And the stove needs cleaning.

Yes, Father.

I'll be needing you in a minute, will you, Dr. Gordon?

What can I say?

Is it the right sort?

It's beautiful.

Thank you, my darling.

We want it for you. Men beauty.
