Love on a Bet

Gene Raymond sticks out a thumb and pulls in a plum in this diverting and fresh screwball comedy co-starring Wendy Barrie and Helen Broderick. When no one will finance his play, would-be producer Michael MacCreigh (Raymond) bets his rich uncle he can leave New York without money or clothes and arrive in Los Angeles 10 days later with a good suit, a hundred bucks in his pocket and a beautiful fiancée to boot. If Michael wins, his uncle will produce the play; if he loses, he'll give up the stage and work in the family meatpacking business. Clad in only his skivvies, Michael soon hitches a ride with a gold-digging redhead (Barrie) and her wisecracking aunt (Broderick) as he races across the country to win cash, clothes and Love on a Bet.
