Andy is a young man traveling around the country with Burt (a black man, as he was called in that time) from race track to race track taking care of the stables and horses. Andy narrates this story about the job, the times, his home and his opinions about the people at the track. But a day comes when he decides to put on the “airs” of the same class he complains about. He finds that trying to lead a life based on a lie is a fool’s life.

Based on a classic literary short story, this tale was shown on PBS Television. We award this film with the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12 plus.
