Cajun quarter-horse trainer Lloyd Bourdelle (
Walter Matthau) struggles to eke out a decent living for himself and his three sons Buddy, Randy and Casey (
Andrew A. Rubin,
Stephen Burns and
Michael Hershewe). Their prize horse is thoroughbred foal Casey's Shadow, named after the youngest son (
Hershewe). The question is whether or not Lloyd, a life-long loser, can take advantage of the opportunity for bettering his lot afforded by Casey's Shadow.
Alexis Smith co-stars as Sarah Blue, a wealthy woman who becomes
Matthau's strongest ally when she offers to buy the horse rather than allow the vindictive Mike Marsh (
Robert Webber) to destroy it.
