Directed by Charles de Meaux

Film Synopsis

Horse racing is in Christophe's blood.  It has become his sole raison d'être.  A Parisian jockey, he has great ambitions for himself, but the young man's dreams of professional glory are cruelly dashed when he fails a drugs test at an important race meeting.  Unable to give up his fatal addiction to his favourite sport, Christophe promptly up sticks and moves to Macau in the Far East.  Here, he is massively surprised by the success that suddenly comes his way.  A succession of easy wins earns him prestige and a great deal of money, and through this he soon makes himself popular with the opposite sex.

It seems that Christophe has found the success that somehow always eluded him in his native France.  But his good fortune goes to his head and this prevents him from realising that China has its own rules.  The young man learns this the hard way when he gets himself mixed up with his adopted country's criminal underworld.  What is he to do when his trainer orders him to lose a race?  Before he knows it, Christophe is at the not very tender mercies of the Chinese mafia, who are not slow to take advantage of his celebrity and naivety.  Fortunately, the young jockey can rely upon the help of an attractive young woman named Pamsy...
