Born to Run

Peter McDermott hat sein Herz für Tiere entdeckt. Ein Rennpferd hat es ihm besonders angetan. Bei den Verkaufsverhandlungen lernt er die Tochter des Züchters kennen, die sich sofort für ihn interessiert. Zielstrebig verfolgt sie ihr Ziel. Christine ist wenig amüsiert.

While visiting a horse-breeding farm for a possible purchase, Peter becomes the object of 22-year-old Blaine McDermott's affection. Through seductiveness and trickery, Blaine gets Peter alone and draws him into a passionate kiss, though Peter is reluctant. Peter claims that he is engaged to Christine, even though their relationship has actually cooled to a friendship. Later, Christine accompanies Peter to Blaine's family's horse farm, where Blaine puts her rival on a skittish horse, which injures Christine. When Peter finds Blaine naked under the sheets of his bed, he successfully ends the relationship by calling her parents. In town for a job interview, anxiously unemployed David Endicott and his wife Gail are disturbed by the disappearance of sexual relations from their marriage. The recent loss of David's job has plunged him into deep depression, but Gail is convinced the absence of intimacy is the result of another woman. Pressed, David confesses that he is impotent.
