Fred does get an idea, and a brilliant one. He offers to buy a show quality horse, name it after the pill and enter different shows and competitions. As the horse wins, the pill is going to get free publicity – and, most importantly, Helen will get to ride it. The company agrees. Thus enter Aspercel, a beautiful gray horse and a talented jumper. However, his jumping talent is not discovered right away, which leads to some misadventures and eventually to Helen stopping to participate in the shows. When they finally see that jumping is Aspercel's real strength, Helen's riding instructor thrown in an idea to send him to the biggest jumping competition, aiming for the greatest prizes of all. Helen is not yet skilled enough of a rider to handle that, so Fred lets Susie, the instructor, go to the championship.
