A breed apart
Nicolas von Bingen and Alex von Hemmerle, titled members of the German aristocracy, have been friends since childhood. Both widowers, they're raising their children on vast Bavarian estates. While Nick indulges in more glamorous pursuits, Alex breeds the renowned white Lipizzaner horses, majestic creatures whose bloodlines are priceless. But it's Nicolas' bloodline that changes everything, when a secret leaves the family vulnerable to the rising tide of Nazism: Nick's mother was of Jewish descent.
Nicolas flees to America, where his family's survival will depend on a gift from Alex: eight purebred horses. Nicolas joins the circus, becoming Nick Bing, with Alex's prize stallion�now named Pegasus�the centerpiece of the show.
