Description: Dark Invader, a superbly bred racehorse, that has had a disappointing first season, is sold and shipped from England to Calcutta where, with love and gentle handling, he wins the hearts of the people and becomes the firm favourite for the prestigious Viceroy Cup. But, only days before the race, an alarming incident occurs which threatens to destroy his chances, and the way disaster is averted is nothing short of a miracle. A richly glowing portrait of India in the thirties, and a moving portrayal of the bond between man and horse.
