Despite the dangers involved in evacuating the magnificent animals, the school's director (Robert Taylor) and a handful of heroic citizens attempt a daring, life-threatening plan to move the stallions away from the ravages of war and, more importantly, keep the historic breed alive. Also starring Eddie Albert.
The movie is based on the true story of a famed Spanish riding school in Vienna, which bred stately Lipizzan horses.
