In 1910, Henry Ford revolutionizes American manufacturing with the introduction of the assembly line for the Model T Ford, producing a vehicle every 90 seconds. This innovation sparks a massive shift in industry practices across the nation, setting the stage for economic change.

Following the stock market crash of 1929, America plunges into the Great Depression, causing widespread unemployment and loss of wealth. Red Pollard's affluent family is among those devastated by this economic collapse, forced to abandon their lavish lifestyle.

Red Pollard faces significant challenges as he embarks on his journey to become a jockey. Despite his passion for horses, he struggles with his height, earning a meager $10 a week, and risks his life by participating in underground boxing matches.

Charles Howard, initially a handyman, experiences a dramatic change in fortune in the booming automobile industry, becoming one of California's wealthiest car dealers. However, a personal tragedy, including the death of his son, leads to a deep despair and the end of his marriage.
