Second viewing, at least; previously viewed on January 31, 1989, and possibly also earlier than that.
A gambler finds himself in debt to a gangster. The gangster tells the gambler that he must prevent a certain horse from entering a race. The gambler is forced to accept the mission. He passes his veterinarian cousin off as the hired jockey for the horse. Meanwhile they keep the real jockey, an alcoholic, locked up. But the gambler falls in love with the horse's owner.
This is not as bad as I thought upon my previous viewing. The most interesting section of the movie is the beginning, when some picturesque characters from the New York underworld are paraded. What follows is a formulaic comedy vehicle for the starring duo, but it has some funny moments and overall is not hard to watch.
