- SynopsisRacing comedy with an Irish background about a promising horse and his owner's efforts to make a Derby winner of him. The local trainer, Lazy Mangan, who is fond of a drink, takes the horse into the woods one night to meet the 'faerie queen', who is to give horse and trainer a special word, which Mangan will whisper to the horse before a race, to make him run faster. This idea of a magic word is treated as ludicrous by the horse's owner and colleagues, but nevertheless when Mangan seems in danger of forgetting the word (which he will not divulge to anyone), they try to help him remember it.
