When the show begins, Johnny is a jockey who's being held for assaulting another jockey during a race. Johnny tells his long story to Bart Matthews, the public defender. It seems that Johnny was a big- time jockey years ago but he took time out to open a restaurant with his wife...a restaurant that ultimately failed. So now with no money, he's gone back into horse racing.... but that transition isn't easy. He's been gone a while and all his successes of the past seem unimportant...especially after he is deliberately knocked off his horse by Eddie. As for Eddie, he's an old protégé of Johnny's but instead of being grateful, he's a sleazy jerk-face. He's mad because Johnny got the girl...
