Jimmy McGill (James Gleason) is a gambler of horses. His wife Belle (Zasu Pitts) keeps haranguing him about his losses. Their daughter Jane likes Ben Johnson although her mother disapproves. Belle agrees to let her marry him if he owns the auto-laundry place. He is struggling to save up the money. Jimmy suggests putting his savings on the horses.

As often is the case, old comedies don't really work for me in the modern sense. I'm not laughing here. Most don't hit the funny bone unless it's a physical comedy. I can see the idea of the comedy. This is like an old family sitcom without the laugh track. They have a couple of solid comedic actors at the top. I guess it's fine for its time although I'm not laughing.

Jame's Gleason's daughter, Margeret Callahan, wants to get married to Russell Gleason (his real life son), but they need money, so Gleason offers to pick out a winner at the racetrack with Russell's money. He does, much to the youngsters' delight, but loses the money. Complications ensue.

This highly competent cast (including Zasu Pitts as Gleason's wife) never quite hits the mark, due to an unsuccessful attempt to merge a crazy comic plot with some realistic characterizations. There are a couple of small moments between Gleason and Pitts that are quite charming, but co-directors Gleason and Ray McCarey never quite manage to meld the two strands in this RKO B movie.
