Description

Frank Merriwell, the all‑American star of Yale, is back for a fresh adventure that begins in a noisy stable. When he impulsively buys a sturdy gelding—originally intended only as a saddle horse—a promise he made after a daring rescue of his friend Winifred Lee forces him to keep the animal at any cost. His loyal companions, the talkative Jack, the quick‑witted Danny, and the skeptical Bruce, swarm around the horse, trading jokes and teasing about the price of the purchase.

The stakes quickly rise as word spreads that the new horse has the makings of a true racer. Frank must balance his sense of honor, the expectations of his guardian Professor Scotch, and the competitive world of college horse racing, all while keeping his friends’ good‑natured ribbing in check. Listeners will follow the early days of training, the looming contests, and the camaraderie that makes Frank’s promise more than just a wager.
