He later takes her out on a lake to go swimming where the two kiss, but Sonora breaks it off and quickly swims away. Marie and Doc laugh while Al just winks at her. Sonora attends dinner after dolling herself up with a new hairdo, makeup, and a fancy dress. Later, Marie tells Sonora that she should consider “ care of her appearance” if she plans to make it in show business. Al tells her not to use that method, though he also remarks that Sonora is getting better at mounting and riding Lightning. In one session, Sonora kicks Lightning with her heels and causes the horse to throw her off. She and Al bond during the sessions, with Al sharing that he used to want to be just like his father, but now wants little to do with him and the business. During the taming sessions, Sonora names the horse Lightning. He and Sonora make a deal that if Sonora can manage to tame the wild horse, perhaps she would indeed be cut out to be a diving girl and Al could train her. She, Al, Doc, and Marie travel to Virginia, where Al manages to win a wild horse in a card game. Sonora is soon given a job as a stable hand after Doc witnesses her tending to the horses. When she returns Al’s card to him, Al begrudgingly shows Sonora the diving tower but insists that she shouldn’t be a diving girl. She meets up with Al, Doc’s son, and pretends to have been hired. Doc dismisses her, saying she is too young and doesn’t fit the look of a proper horse diving girl. Sonora watches Marie perform a dive and requests to be Doc’s new diving girl. As she explores the fair, Sonora comes across William Frank “Doc” Carver-the man who put out the advertisement-and one of his diving girls, Marie. She later meets a younger man named Clifford, who longs to come up with a “death-defying” act that he can perform. Sonora helps Al by hiding one of his trick cards, allowing Al to escape unharmed. She slips away to a local county fair where she encounters a man named Al being hassled by a group of men who believe he’s cheated them in cards. Instead, Sonora sneaks out of the house that night, giving Arnette a goodbye kiss on the forehead. Aunt Helen confronts Sonora later and tells her she’s being moved to an orphanage. When she returns home, she discovers that Lightning has been sold thanks to the cows that got loose and because she was suspended from school. Later, Sonora finds an advertisement in a newspaper for a horse diving girl. Her teacher ignores her for the rest of the day. At school, Sonora hits Clarabelle after being made fun of and is suspended from school, though Sonora refuses to leave. In the jump, Lightning breaks a fence and accidentally sets a herd of cows loose. One girl named Clarabelle calls her bluff, daring Sonora to jump. Sonora claims that Lightning can outrun any horse and jump over any fence. She is confronted by some schoolyard bullies who make fun of her hair and her horse. On her way to school, Sonora tends to her horse, Lightning. She cuts her hair to imitate a famous magazine model, causing her aunt to force her to wear a bag on her head as punishment.
