What happens
The Shamrock Handicap is a 1926 American silent romance film directed by John Ford and produced by Fox Film Corporation. It stars Janet Gaynor, Leslie Fenton, and J. Farrell MacDonald, and is based on the short story "Corncob Kelly's Benefit" by Peter B. Kyne, published in Red Book Magazine in September 1913. The film is notable as the first of Ford's films to feature an Irish theme, a subject to which he would return throughout his career, most famously in The Quiet Man (1952). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
