Bland and Gordon are bookies with an unusual, slightly illegal method of picking winners at the racetrack. Eventually big-time gamblers force them to leave the city and relocate. They find a smaller town and a racetrack and go back into business, encountering a few of the local crazies.
After a few wacky escapades the film winds down in an amiable ending. Bland, a smooth-talking con man, and Gordon, his energetic partner, enliven an otherwise average comedy. The plot is simplistic and the characters and situations are predictable, but the leads' comic skills, along with Mune's
light directoral touch, make this an enjoyable little entertainment.
