Synopsis
Ike Lazarus, a Jewish tobacconist, does his kibitzing nightly when his friends gather at the store for pinochle. Josie, his daughter, who is engaged to Eddie Brown, goes with Bert, a financier's son, to a horse race. They are followed there by Ike and Eddie, and Eddie loses his money on a "hot tip" given him by Ike. When Josie threatens to elope with Bert, her father goes to Livingston, Bert's father, and thwarts the plot. As a reward, Livingston gives Ike some shares in American Steel. The market rises, then falls, but Ike's brother unwittingly sells the stock at its peak value. With the fortune he has acquired, Ike finances a garage for Eddie, who is happily reunited with Josie.
