DESCRIPTION:

Mary Bradley stands to lose the family farm if her horse, Blue Streak, doesn't win the Kentucky Derby. Her brother, jockey Johnny, has been sent to prison on trumped-up charges by a crooked district attorney who intends to take ownership of the farm. An investigative reporter joins forces with Mary in a desperate attempt to clear her innocent brother, in time for the big race.
