I don't know how I missed this one all these years. A man named King O' Hara (Cecil Kellaway) uses a horse to pull a handsome cab and give people rides all over Broadway.
When the horse diesbecause Wilbut Hoolihan (Lou Costello) feeds it candy, he and his friend Grover Mockridge (Bud Abbott) must replace the horse. What happens is they end up stealing a race horse and it causes more problems.
As usual with an A&C film, there is a lot of slapstick, and I found myself laughing out loud numerous times. I was also suprised to see Shemp Howard in a role as one of three gamblers always looking for a way to get ahead.
There are some musical numbers and that was typical of fiulms made in the days of WW2. If you like Abbott and Costello I cannot recommend this movie enough.
The cast also includes Grace McDonald, Patsy O'Conner, Samuel S. Hinds, The Four Step Brothers and The Vagabonds.
