Horse trainer Frankie Longworth discovers that his former sweetheart Christine is now married to jockey Steve Loomis. He seeks work, plus a chance to demonstrate his new "crouch" style of racing. Frankie ends up barred from racing after an ethical breach, and Steve is killed in a fall from a horse.
