Charles Laughton plays a middle-aged sandwich clerk who tries to get a quick fortune by “borrowing” money from the cash register to bet on a long-shot horse race. Of course, the horse loses. His strange conception of the definition and boundaries of honesty, developed in a curious childhood, adds a psychological twist to the story.

The story is written by Robert L. Richards.
