Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Serial star Ben Wilson produced and directed this lively potboiler. Ann Little plays the daughter of self-sacrificing military officer Norval McGregor. When he runs out of money, McGregor mortgages the family home so that Little can complete his education. She returns the favor by disguising herself as a jockey and winning a plot-resolving horse race. Chain Lightning was photographed by Harry Gersted, later a mainstay of low-budget 1950 TV productions.
