1931. Frances Palmer is overjoyed when her brother Rob
returns to Adelaide as a racecourse veterinarian. But all is not
well on the turf, and when a man is murdered, there is only one
suspect - Rob.
Frances and her boyfriend, charming night club owner Jack Sullivan, along with ex-vaudevillian Uncle
Sal and their friends have only one chance to unmask
the real murderer, by infiltrating the racecourse. The odds are against them, but luckily putting on a
dazzling show where everything depends on sleight of hand is what they do best.
But nothing is a dead-cert against a cold blooded killer. And with time running out for Rob, the race is on.
