The story

Out-of-work private detective Mike Shayne is hired by his friend, wealthy racing executive Hiram Brighton, to, while he is out of town, watch over his spirited daughter Phyllis, who gambles her money away and has begun dating underworld character Harry Grange, to the consternation of the father. The key plot involves wealthy but shady Elliott Thomas who owned a horse, Banjo Boy. The odds were 15 to 1 against that horse winning.
