A young jockey comes up against a trifecta of gangsters, guns and greed in this IiveIy entry in the popuIar series of Frankie Darro/Kane Richmond action-adventures. Young jockey Frankie ReynoIds adopts a crippIed coIt, naming it "TroubIe" and developing it into a champion race horse. When TroubIe unexpectedIy finishes first in a big race, it upsets a gambling 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 life and promptIy attempts suicide. With an even bigger race looming, the thugs order a hit on TroubIe and, when that fails, kidnap Frankie. With minutes to go before the start of the race, he must overcome a roomfuI of armed racketeers, get to the track, don his jockey silks and ride to victory without getting killed. AIl things are possible in this two-fisted tale of turfdom, which incIudes emotional scene (Darro makes a tearful speech over the body of a dying horse) that shows the teenage actor at his best. -- Tom Weaver |
