Malysh (Kid), a karate fan in late Soviets, tries hard to beat his way to the top.

Fourteen-year-old Mick is taken to the police station for hooliganism. Here he makes up about himself that he is practicing acrobatics with coach Krylov. Now Krylov is summoned to the police. But the strange thing is that Krylov confirms the teenager's testimony, gives a surety for him and enrolls the boy in his group....

After one horse racing Sunday the body of a jockey is found on the racetrack. Was it an accident or a murder connected to bet fixing?
