What happens
Kissing Cup is a 1913 British silent sports film directed by Jack Hulcup and starring Harry Gilbey, Chrissie White and Cecil Mannering. The film's title is an allusion to the poem Kissing Cup's Race by Campbell Rae Brown. A jockey manages to escape a gang of kidnappers and makes it to Sandown in time to win his race. The story was filmed again as the silent Kissing Cup's Race (1920) and as the talkie Kissing Cup's Race (1930). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
