Kate is a top athlete, except when her fiance is watching, then she falls apart. She travels across the county to train with shady sports promoter Spencer Tracy. She starts winning again, but he has trouble shaking his gambling connections from the past. Watch in awe as Kate takes down thug Charles Bronson and has hallucinations during a tennis match. The chemistry between her and real life lover Tracy is creepy rather than romantic, especially during an awkward massage scene.
