In the late 1940s and through the 1950s, George O'Hanlon starred in a series of shorts featuring a character named 'Joe McDoakes'--an idiot who always seemed to screw up by the end of the film. Each film have similar titles that begin with "So you want to be..." and were made by Warner Brothers.
In this one, for once Joe seems to be doing well. While he usually loses while gambling, this time he manages to accidentally win $50. Naturally being a chronic gambler and idiot, he manages to lose this...and then some--all thanks to his 'good friend' Homer and his own inability to stop when he's ahead.
Overall, a fairly typical McDoakes film--cute and worth seeing. Oh, and by the way, get a load of the three-handed man as well as those Mexican jumping dice and that crazy parrot!!
