Der tollkühne Jockey (1953)
Der Spieler Herman Nelson leidet unter drückenden Wettschulden und erhält von Obergangster Jumbo den freundlichen Rat, dafür zu sorgen, dass das Pferd My Sheba beim nächsten Rennen leer ausgeht. Mit Hilfe seines Cousins Virgil, seines Zeichens Tierarzt-Gehilfe, versucht er, den Auftrag zu erfüllen, sieht sich aber vor diverse Schwierigkeiten gestellt. Nicht einfacher wird die Angelegenheit durch den Umstand, dass er sich ernsthaft in My Shebas Besitzerin Phyllis verliebt.
