- Synopsis:
- Frankie Martin (Frankie Vaughan) is an out-of-work sailor who encounters Bud, a tramp who gives him a shilling, and promises that if he can make £100 honestly he will be given £1,000. Frankie's quest for Bud's money leads him to a job with shady riverboat casino operator Tony Carlisle (Tony Britton). Here he meets the beautiful Julie (Anne Heywood) but Frankie's enthusiasm for his work leads to the sack from Tony's dodgy establishment. Frankie goes from job to job but his singing career and romance with Julie are blossoming. With the encouragement of Julie and the help of amusing impresario Johnnie (Tony Newley), will Frankie make a success of his singing career and take Bud's wager?
