When Martin Knox, a friend of Scattergood’s who owns a horse-breeding farm, is killed in a harness race Scattergood tells Martin’s son Dan that he will send him to college if he forgets about taking over his father’s business, which was heavily mortgaged and has been put up for auction after Knox’s death.
