Thunderhead is now a wild stallion with a habit of luring mares away from their homesteads. This upsets race horse owner Charles Coburn, who wants to shoot Thunderhead. He clashes with young Robert Arthur, who is emotionally attached to Thunderhead. Also a racer, Arthur and Coburn face each other in the climactic county fair. Peggy Cummins is Arthur's teen romance interest and Coburn's granddaughter, causing more problems between the two. Nice scenery, but gets bogged down in boring family issues. Lloyd Nolan is terrible as Arthur's father.
