The main "Jim Hardy" story by Dick Moores follows a man named Bess dealing with financial troubles related to horse racing; when Bess's prized racehorse "Blackie G" shows promise, characters scheme and plan around the potential winnings, with Bess ultimately hoping to train the horse to win a big race and solve his monetary problems. The story concludes with optimistic discussion of settling down at a ranch once Paddles wins the race.
Windy Peters, a lanky cow-hand bound for Kentucky to race his prized pony Paddles, is unexpectedly thrust into caring for a baby left at the stable—much to his dismay. When he learns he must find a nurse or risk losing custody, he’s stunned to discover Bess Gildedge, the stable owner who helped him adopt the child, is secretly in love with him. As they prepare for a cross-country journey to keep the baby safe, tensions rise between Windy’s stubborn independence, Bess’s quiet devotion, and the looming financial stakes of the upcoming race.
