Plot


After years of doing the football pools every week George Knowles (Jack Warner) is stunned to find that all his score draws have come up and he's won the "Treble Chance" jackpot. As George and his family celebrate with an impromptu party, his son Johnnie (Bernard Fox) arrives home and drops a bombshell: the coupon belongs, not to George, but to Johnnie and his workmate Sid Jarvis (Harry Fowler). But when Sid's gold-digging and wanton mother (Valerie White) finds out about the windfall she decides to lock her son up in order to keep him away from his share of the fortune.
