Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Years ago, ambitious jockey Ronnie Watson (Ben Cooper) cheated during an important race, thereby destroying the career of his friend and fellow jockey Sam Barry (Walter Burke). Now it appears that Sam has returned from obscurity to get even with Ronnie; no matter where he races in the world, Ronnie sees the malevolently grinning face of Sam, awaiting him at each finish line. Ultimately, Ronnie is driven to desperation and madness--but that's not the end of the story.
