Overview
John Hare loses his job after attending a horse race without permission. Despite being married with a child, he invests his last shilling into a Tattersall's sweepstake ticket and ends up drawing the favorite. He then meets with Dick Fallows, the owner of the horse, and places two-thirds of the sweep money with him. The horse wins, but after Hare secures the prize money, he returns to Fallows' camp where he deals with the subsequent fallout and comedic twists surrounding the winnings.
