Money From Home (1953)
"Delirous, dizzy and demented... now in Technicolor!"
During the prohibition years, incorrigible gambler 'Honey Talk' Nelson finds himself dangerously indebted to gangster Jumbo Schneider. There's only one thing he can do to pay his dues, and that's fixing a horserace. The solution seems simple: take out the frontrunner - My Sheeba - out of the competition.
Using the combined abilities of his veterinarian cousin (Virgil) and his own wooing capabilites to seduce the owner of the horse (Ms. Leigh), the plan seems to guarantee a successful way ouy. But when mistaken identities are assumed and feelings start to get in the way, Honey Talk soon realizes that dealing with this tangle of mobsters, jockeys and animal-lovers will be more than a tricky (and entertaining!) endeavor to manage.
