The irrepressible Bob Hope is up to his ears in trouble in the zany action-packed comedy The Lemon Drop Kid. A racetrack betting tipster Hope offers some good advice - or so he thinks - at a Florida racetrack and lives to regret it. It's his money or his life when mobster Moose Moran (Fred Clark) gives him until Christmas to make up a $10 000 error! Desperate to raise the money Hope sends out bogus Santa Clauses to solicit donations for an imaginary old folks' home. Unfortunately gangster Charley (Lloyd Nolan) muscles in on the Kid's yuletide racket. Suddenly the heat's on in winter as Hope tries frantically to escape the law the lumbering Moose and his trigger-happy partner in one hilarious escapade after another. It's a laugh a minute when The Lemon Drop Kid takes to the track in this side-splitting comedy for all seasons.
