Plot
Margo Thomas, a lady of New York high society, travels to Texas with her brother to buy a new polo pony. When they choose cocky cowboy William Quincy's favorite horse, he asks to accompany them on the trip back East, and when easy-going ranch hand Snifty is chosen instead, William goes along anyway.
William's happy that Margo's rich aunt Minetta takes a shine to him and he develops a romantic attraction to Margo, who resents his arrogance and presence on the Long Island estate so much at first that she asks polo players to pick a fight with him. Trying to learn her favorite sport, William leaves the estate in shame after being thrown from a horse during a polo match.
He still loves the game, so he and Snifty begin a series of Wild West polo matches in the city, "cowboys against Indians," that become popular. William makes the acquaintance of Okay Kinney, a young rider who falls for him. Margo's brother's team ends up playing his, and after impressing her with his skill, William deliberately loses the match, just to please her.
