Ex-amateur boxer and unsuccessful advertising executive Jack Doyle returns to thoroughbred horse racing. He is hired as publicity director at Monee Park-a struggling racetrack owned by heiress Celia McCann.
Celia is fighting to keep the business afloat while awaiting passage of a law allowing video slot machines. She is determined to maintain the business inherited from her beloved uncle Jim Joyce, but her cousin and co-heir, Niall, wants her to close the track and sell the valuable property. And he's hired someone to help make his point.
Can Jack help save the track?
