Output (English): Sorrowful Jones Matthau is a gloomy, cantankerous bookie circa 1934, who is confronted by Carter, a gambler who cannot pay a 10 debt. He ultimately gives his 6yearold daughter Stimson to Sorrowfuls gangsterrun gambling operation as a marker collateral for a bet. When he loses his bet and commits suicide, the gangsters are left with the Kid on their hands. Sorrowfuls nervous assistant, Regret Newhart, is concerned about the legalities of this, particularly the kidnapping statutes. In the interim, a crime boss named Blackie Curtis coerces his longtime rival Sorrowful into financing a new gambling joint. It is opened in the stately home of Blackies girlfriend, widowed Amanda Worthington Andrews, who needs money to buy back her family property. Amanda is also counting on a racehorse of hers called Sir Galahad to ride to her rescue. While the Kids personal needs inconvenience Sorrowful, a fatherdaughter relationship develops between them and they become inseparable. Amanda also takes a liking to the Kid, and reluctantly, the icy Sorrowful, who eventually comes to love her as well—much to Blackies chagrin.
