People fight; Tom Smith is a bole who is good at looking at horses and training them, but no one appreciates them, and he is depressed. The fate of three embarrassed men takes a turn for the better because of an old racehorse named "Biscuit." Hard Biscuit was short in stature and had weak legs, so it was discarded as a defective product. However, its unyielding nature and tenacious fighting spirit were not wiped out. Three new owners successfully awakened its potential and allowed it to shine in competitions.
