A jockey finally hits the big time, but he lets his success go to his head, threatening his career and his life.

Terry Nolan, a jockey, becomes conceited after achieving success on the racetrack. Eventually, he is suspended for disobedience. Phillip Lawrence, the playboy son of Terry's boss, Phillip Lawrence, Sr., gives Terry the chance to redeem himself in a steeplechase race. Terry wins the race despite two broken ribs he got in a fight with Lawrence, Jr. over Mary Bascom, and thereby clears himself with Lawrence, Sr.
