Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this sporting comedy, two gamblers are visiting the home of a staunch anti-gambler. The host is most self-righteous about it all until he wins the main purse during a horse race. Thrilled, he sets up a bookmaking operation. Unfortunately, by the time the big race runs around he loses it all. Fortunately, his canny wife bets on the winner and saves the day.
