James Jones, detto Angustia, vive raccogliendo scommesse clandestine sui cavalli. Le corse sono spesso truccate. Succede che uno scommettitore truffato, recatosi a protestare nell’uffico dei soci di Jones, viene ucciso. L’uomo aveva lasciato sua figlia, Martha, nell’ufficio di Jones: questi la tiene con sé per evitare le indagini della polizia, ma a poco a poco, attraverso vari casi, finisce coll'affezionarsi alla bambina.

Sorrowful Jones (1949)
88 min
A young girl is left with the notoriously cheap Sorrowful Jones as a marker for a bet. When her father doesn't return, he learns that taking care of a child interferes with his free-wheeling lifestyle. Sorrowful must also evade crooked gangsters and indulge in a bit of horse-thieving.
