With an eye toward buying an expensive necklace for his ladylove (Jill Dixon), poor jewelry store clerk Norman Hackett (Norman Wisdom) decides to raise the funds by betting on a string of horse races. Surprisingly, Norman picks the winning ponies, but as his earnings accumulate, his bookie becomes reluctant to pay up. John Paddy Carstairs directs this screwball comedy that also stars Joan Sims and Marjorie Rhodes.
