Herman owes a lot of gambling debts. To pay them off, he promises the mob he'll fix a horse, so that it does not run. He intends to trick his animal-loving cousin Virgil, an apprentice veterinarian, into helping him. Of course, he doesn't tell Virgil what he is really up to. Mistaken identities are assumed, while along the way, Virgil meets a female vet and Herman falls for the owner of the horse.

The film constructs a classic situational comedy, relying on the dynamic between a cunning schemer and his gullible, animal-loving cousin. It explores mistaken identities and romantic subplots with a steady stream of musical interludes and visual gags.
Those who tire of overly complex plots will find a cheerful, fast-paced romp that leans into the charm of its era and its leading men. — MovieFinder Editorial
