Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
The world of horse racing provides the framework for this drama. The story centers around a young aspiring jockey who becomes the student of a corrupt ex-jock, who not only teaches him how to race, he teaches him the subtleties of cheating. The student ends up teaching the teacher a thing or two about honesty, and both of them go straight. The young jockey runs the final big race fair and square.
