Money from Home

1953 · 100 min

A breezy, silly romp of mistaken identities and goofy gags, carried by the duo's slapstick charm and bright Technicolor cheer.

Tagline
Their first in color and their funniest!
Overview
Herman owes a lot of gambling debts. To pay them off, he promises the mob he'll fix a horse, so that it does not run. He intends to trick his animal-loving cousin Virgil, an apprentice veterinarian, into helping him. Of course, he doesn't tell Virgil what he is really up to. Mistaken identities are assumed, while along the way, Virgil meets a female vet and Herman falls for the owner of the horse.
