Storyline

George befriends a race horse only to discover that it has a reputation for attacking any jockey that comes near it just before a big race. There are the inevitable gang of villains, car chases, a comic brain specialist and a girl for George to fall for and to sing his cheeky-chappie songs at.

Trivia

George Formby's wife Beryl was so jealous of his glamourous co-star Patricia Kirkwood that she tried to sabotage Kirkwood's performance, insisting the she had her long hair cut short, and dressed in dowdy clothes. However, the cast and crew had the last laugh, when the final kiss was achieved by distracting Beryl with a telephone call, and shooting the scene in one take. See more »

Continuity: When George, after singing "I'm Making Headway Now" in the stables, places his ukulele into a wheel barrow and walks away, it is a totally different instrument to the one he uses to sing the song. See more »
