Sorrowful Jones (Bob Hope) is a wisecracking and very thrifty bookie who accepts a desperate gambler’s unusual marker, his daughter. When the man doesn’t return Sorrowful decides to look after the girl for awhile, partly to appease his on again off again girlfriend (Lucille Ball) and partly out of his own growing attachment to the guileless little girl. When tragedy strikes Sorrowful must use all his imagination and ingenuity in order to save the day in this touching tale.
