Oro negro (1947)
En la década de 1920, en el desierto cerca de la frontera entre Texas y México, Charley Eagle es un indio que posee un pequeño rancho y está entrenando a una yegua, "Esperanza negra". Cree que será capaz de correr y ganar el Derby de Kentucky. Charley se encuentra con un joven chino, David Chung, cuyo padre ha sido asesinado por una banda de contrabandistas, mientras fingía que les ayudaba a entrar ilegalmente en los Estados Unidos. Charlie lleva al joven de regreso a su rancho, donde él y su esposa Sarah lo adoptan. Sus planes para "Esperanza negra" salen mal, pero se descubre petróleo en sus tierras y esto intensifica sus sueños. La yegua tiene una cría, el potro "Oro negro", que quizás pueda hacer lo que su madre no podía...
