SHOWDOWN

Horse ranches and stud farms are the backdrop for this intriguing romance. Bobby Cameron is an international horse trainer based in California. He meets Milly Lockwood Groves while training her arch rival Rachel's horses. To escape her unhappy home, Milly accepts Bobby's offer to train quarter horses, but soon she becomes involved with unscrupulous horse trainers. Sonya Walger brings Milly's innocence to the fore with soft tones that are in sharp contrast to Rachel's self-centeredness. Walger keeps Bobby's accent flat in juxtaposition to the cruel inflections in the voices of his competitors. Of course, Bobby gets the girl, or it wouldn't be a romance, but does he get the horses and the ranch? It will take a showdown to make their dreams come true.
