Gambling man Trotter (Dreyfus) has promised his wife Pam (Teri Garr) that he's given up betting at the track. But when he gets a tip on a sure thing the following weekend, he's sure he can't lose. He wins on a fifty dollar bet, and turns his winnings into a full day of ups and downs with his buddy Looney (David 'Buster Poindexter' Johansen). Director Pytka was previously known as the man behind several successful beer commercials.
