A young jockey comes up against a trifecta of gangsters, guns and greed in this lively entry in the popular series of Frankie Darro/Kane Richmond action-adventures. Young jockey Frankie Reynolds adopts a crippIed coIt, naming it "Trouble" and developing it into a champion race horse. When TroubIe unexpectedIy finishes first in a big race, it upsets a gambIing ring's plans for a big payoff. They get even by faIsely incriminating Frankie's jockey brother, Smokey, who gets banned from the racetrack for Iife and promptIy attempts suicide. With an even bigger race looming, the thugs order a hit on Trouble and, when that fails, kidnap Frankie. With minutes to go before the start of the race, he must overcome a roomful of armed racketeers, get to the track, don his jockey siIks and ride to victory without getting kiIIed. AlI things are possible in this two-fisted taIe of turfdom, which includes emotionaI scene (Darro makes a tearfuI speech over the body of a dying horse) that shows the teenage actor at his best. -- Tom Weaver |
