[Theme song playing]

[Narrator] This is my boss, Jonathan hart,

a self-made millionaire.

He's quite a guy.

This is Mrs. H. She's gorgeous.

She's one lady who knows how to take care of herself.

By the way, my name is Max. I take care of both of them,

which ain't easy, 'cause when they met,

it was murder.

[Theme song continues]

[Christmas jingle playing]

[Trotting sound]

[Jonathan] Just look at her go.

[Max] Yeah, you got a real sharp lady there, Mr. H.

[Triumphant music playing]

[Trotting sound]

[Max] She's certainly long in the stride.

[Jonathan] It's all in the legs.

[Max] Yeah, I ain't seen gams like that since Betty grable.

Darling, I never thought I'd fall in love

- with another woman. - [Jennifer chuckling]

She is beautiful, isn't she?

Davey's holding her in too.

[Clicks]

Forty-six and two.

- Monty? - [Monty chuckling]

Forty-six and two.

[Max] This little filly's gonna win us a bundle.

[Neighs]

[Neighing in distance]

[Max] Wow, she'll run from now till next Christmas.

That's great. That really is great.

I'm so happy she drew that race on Saturday.

Oh, she's ready, Mr. Hart.

If she keeps this time, she'll show herself real well.

You know something?

I see a derby in that girl's future.

I can see it all now

"j.j. Hart, the first of her gender

to win the triple crown."

Take it easy, you two. Let's see

how she does on Saturday,

then we'll plan her third birthday.

[Ominous music playing]

[Sommerton] That horse is trouble.

I know, Mr. Sommerton, but it's only her first race.

I don't think she's in a class with diamond edge.

You may think you're an ace handicapper, cleaver,

but that horse could not only cost us a lot of money...

But possibly our lives.

[Ominous music playing]

[Jonathan] Thanks for working her out for me, Davey.

My pleasure, Mr. Hart. She's a real fine filly.

I hope she draws a good post position.

She's got the speed to go all the way.

No doubt about that, but she is a little green.

Green? Did you hear that?

Oh, you just wait till Saturday.

You'll show them your real colors.

Max, Mrs. H and I have got some Christmas shopping to do.

Will you take my car?

Sure thing, Mr. H.

Gives me a little time to do some research.

Thanks again, Davey. I'll see you Saturday.

So long, Mr. Hart, Mrs. Hart.

Bye.

[Jonathan] Monty.

Don't forget what I'm hinting at!

[Horse neighs]

[Cheerful music playing]

Ben.

Riley.

- Hi, maxie. - Hi, dear.

What's up? Hi

make sure you walk j.J. For 40 minutes, hm?

Sure.

So how you doing, maxie?

I could complain, but I won't.

- Got any good gossip? - [Neighing sound]

You should know only suckers take any notice of barn talk.

I ain't talking barn talk. I'm talking sound news.

Like how did this here filly work out this morning?

[Riley] I don't talk about that.

There's one thing I learned.

You never get excited about a two-year-old

till they run in company.

You say that based on your many years of experience, huh?

Hey, you don't have to be in your early hundreds

to know something.

[Neighing in distant]

Look, what do you like in the third?

Tossup.

[Max] That's what I figured.

What about twinkling dancer in the fifth?

Twinkling dancer's got lead feet.

How can you say that?

He's been in the money in his last five starts.

Yeah. All shows against nothing.

Never a bride,

always just a friend of the family.

[Neighing]

I have something here for you.

Put all your money on zippity doo dah.

He'll take it in a walk.

Zippity doo dah?

You can trust me, maxie.

I have to make a buck,

so I'll see you around.

Hey, kid, you ought to have your stopwatch examined.

Zippity doo dah?

- [Jennifer] Darling? - [Jonathan] Mm-hm.

Don't you think that giving Max a blender

is sort of like giving him socks and underwear?

Max is gonna love it.

Besides, he knows we're going to be giving him something else.

Oh, yes.

[Sighs]

Is freeway going to start taking his meals with us?

[Freeway whimpers]

[Jennifer] Oh, humor him, darling.

He's been feeling very...

Threatened lately.

Threatened?

He knows we've been to the stable.

He can smell our other friend.

You mean j.J.?

- [Freeway whimpers] - [Jennifer] Shh!

Tsk.

You see? The mere mention of her name.

You mean, we're gonna have to start to spell

the horse's name in front of the dog?

Jonathan, you can't spell j.J.

[Freeway whimpers]

Shh.

Freeway is a very sensitive dog,

and he feels that somehow

his territory has been usurped by another animal.

- Freeway. - [Freeway whimpers]

You don't have to worry about that

because there's not a chair big enough to hold a horse.

- [Jennifer chuckles] - [Freeway barks]

Aw, you see?

Wow! All he needed was a little reassuring.

Well, all of us fellas are alike.

Ah!

Thanks.

Monty.

I...

Haven't seen you since, uh, what? Hialeah.

Mr. Sommerton.

I couldn't help but notice one of your horses

working out this morning.

Why couldn't you help it?

A fine-looking animal.

Belongs to, uh, Jonathan hart, doesn't she?

[Monty] Mm-hm.

I'll bet she owes her prowess to something in your touch.

You know, I've always been sorry

that I've... never been able to have the benefits

of your skills.

Well, I'm fussy who I bed down with.

[Sommerton] Well, I can understand that.

A man... you know, a man with your past

has to use a certain amount of caution.

[Horse purring and neighing]

What do you want, Mr. Sommerton?

You know my horse, diamond edge?

- Mm-hm. - Well, she's running

in the eight this Saturday against, among others,

what's her name? J.J. Hart?

Mm-hm.

[Sommerton] Now, what you don't know is that it's imperative...

That she take this outing, monty.

We don't think she has a problem in the world.

But it is crucial...

That we guarantee that result.

I don't think I want to hear the rest of this.

Now, monty, there's $10,000 worth of hearing the rest of...

- [thudding] - I ain't never pulled a horse

from winning in my life

and I ain't about to start now.

You know you can't get away with that kind of stuff.

- Now, just take it easy. - You get out of here before...

[sommerton] We don't wanna go stirring up any mess.

[Cleaver] We might have to tell people about your alcoholic history.

You remember that unfortunate barn burning in Kentucky?

I heard you were too drunk to even know what went on. Huh?

[Monty breathing heavily] That was arson.

And I was cleared.

I'm sure when you told hart he understood

about the unfortunate mix-up.

- [Sommerton] We better kill him. - [Monty grunting]

[Sommerton] I can't hear you.

All I want you to do is a little something

to take hart's horse's attention off the race.

- [Monty gasps] - [Mumbling sounds]

[Sommerton] A blinker, for example.

[Monty screams]

- [Thud] - [Clink]

What was that?

Someone's in there.

[Horse trotting]

I didn't see anyone.

- What's the matter with him? - I don't know. Get him up!

I hardly touched him.

Must have hit his head.

He's dead.

See you later.

[Door bangs shut]

Hello, Jilly? Max.

Zippity doo dah in the fifth.

That's right.

I got a hot tip he'll take it in a walk.

No show, to win.

Put me down for 20 and...

You might as well throw in 40 for Mr. H.

Certainly, I know he's 20-to-1.

You think I can't read?

Yeah, happy hanukkah to you too.

[Riley] Glad to hear you put your money where my mouth is.

Who's that?

Well, it ain't the ghost of Christmas past.

[Cheerful music playing]

There you are, Riley. Have some. They're delicious.

[Fire crackling]

Now, tell them what you told me.

Monty's in trouble.

- What kind of trouble? - [Riley] I don't know.

He had an argument with a couple guys.

Do you know who they were?

[Riley] I couldn't really see them.

Did you hear what they said?

I couldn't hear too good either.

But I heard your name

and something about j.J.

[Riley] And then... Then they hit him.

[Sighs] Are you sure they hit him?

Listen, one thing I know is what that sounds like.

My old man used to smack me plenty.

[Max] I threw a call into the stables.

Nobody's seen monty since this morning.

Come on, let's go down to the stables

and I'll show you.

[Cheerful music playing]

Well...

Monty and them were right here.

And I was in the stall next door.

And like I told ya, I couldn't see very much

because I was looking through the cracks.

But I heard something.

I checked with monty's assistant.

Ben ain't heard from him.

We went over to his bungalow.

Everything's in order.

A couple of the guys figure he's out on a toot.

That's a lie!

Monty's been off the sauce for two years.

[Jonathan] I think she's right, Max.

Monty promised me he was off the stuff

when he came on with us.

And I don't think he'd slip.

He's got too much going for him now.

Darling, maybe we should call in the police.

Well, he's not a missing person for 24 hours.

[Riley] What about what I told ya?

You don't believe me, do ya?

Riley, we do believe you.

That's why we're here.

The only problem is we don't have enough evidence

to give to the police.

Max, why don't you and Riley check out the other stables.

Darling, we'll check out the clubhouse

and see what we can find.

I'll pick you up on the way back.

Sure thing, Mr. H. Come on, kid.

Mr. Hart.

Yes?

Uh, Waldo sommerton.

We haven't met, but I feel as though we should.

This is my wife.

- [Sommerton] It's a pleasure. - How do you do?

My associate, Mr. Cleaver.

Oh, my horse, uh, diamond edge will be racing

against your horse.

Oh.

Well, we're very excited about it.

This is her first time out.

Well, I generally bet first-time starters,

but under the circumstances,

I'm sure you'll understand if I pass.

Do you know our trainer monty?

Yes, of course.

Ah. We're looking for him.

Well, as a matter of fact,

I saw him around here earlier this morning.

Yes, he was looking for the girl, uh...

- [Jennifer] Riley? - Yes.

Well, if you see him,

have him give us a call, would you please?

Riley will be with us. We appreciate it.

[Sommerton] Be glad to help.

See you on Saturday.

[Jennifer] Nice to meet you.

[Sommerton] Pleasure. Have a good day.

[Ominous music playing]

The harts seem to have taken that child under their wing.

Do you think if we apply a little pressure to the child

the harts will do the job for us?

First we have some tidying up to do.

There's the little matter of monty's unfortunate accident.

Isn't this getting to be a bit sticky,

Mr. Sommerton? Sticky is exactly

the way we'll end up

when they scrape us up off the pavement.

I just meant, couldn't we wait for another race?

No, diamond edge is ready.

She can race again in two weeks.

Two weeks?

Where have you been, cleaver?

Payday is Monday. The notes come due.

And if we don't cover them, we'll end up

like the rest of the also-rans,

in a can of dog food.

[Ominous music continues]

[Crickets chirping]

Gin.

Gin? Yeah.

You're not bad at this.

My old man taught me good.

Now, that's $22.80 you owe me.

[Jennifer chuckling]

[Jonathan] I'm good for it.

What about your family?

Well, my mom got killed in a car crash

when I was a kid.

So my old man raised me.

He's a track gypsy,

follows the circuit.

You know, pimlico, los alamitos, the big a.

And a lot of dumps in between.

Where's your dad now, Riley?

He took off a couple years ago.

He wasn't great with responsibility.

You know.

That's when you moved in with your uncle?

Monty ain't really my uncle.

He was just a drinking pal of my old man's.

[Max] Come on, Riley, time to hit the hay.

Hey, mom, don't let the apron go to your head.

It's early enough to give Mr. H. A chance to get even.

[Max] Tomorrow's a school day.

[Riley] School?

I'm not going to school tomorrow.

No? Well, I say you are.

[Riley] Who needs it?

I can spell zippity doo dah

and tell you who went off at 14-to-1 today.

And if you played him and bold villain in exacta,

you would have netted yourself a telephone number.

Come on, kid, before I take your calculator away.

[Jonathan] Hey, Max, wait a minute.

I'm out $22.

Twenty-two, eighty.

Well, at least you could give me a good night kiss

to cover my losses, huh?

Good night.

Good night. Thanks.

Good night, Riley.

Good night.

You're a real pretty lady, Mrs. H.

Well, thank you.

So are you.

Thanks.

Mr. H., you think monty took off?

Like my old man?

No, I don't think so, Riley.

I don't think that monty would do something like that.

Yeah.

Well, keep the cards shuffled.

Go ahead, I'll be up in a minute to tuck you in.

Do you wanna put the sides up on my crib too?

Now go.

Monty should have shown up by now.

At least we should have heard from him.

[Jennifer] Unless he really did go off on another binge.

[Jonathan] Nah, I don't really think he did that.

I have a feeling somebody was putting the pressure on monty.

[Sighs]

Darling... do you think it's possible

that someone could have taken monty off

for a couple of days just to make j.J. Nervous?

[Jonathan] Yeah, it's possible,

but we're talking about this race

like it's the Kentucky derby. It really isn't that important.

I mean, what could anybody get out of it?

Do you think we should pull her from the race anyway?

[Jonathan] Oh, I don't think that's necessary. Ben can take up the slack

until monty gets back.

[Jennifer] We better ask him to horse-sit for a while.

Yeah, maybe we should. I'll give him a call.

Why don't we just go down there?

[Cheerful music playing]

[Crickets chirping]

[Knocking]

Come in.

Hiya, Riley.

Hiya, maxie.

Have you got them teeth and ears

and all those little nitty-gritty places?

Yeah.

I'd tell ya a bedtime story,

only I don't know any fit for a kid.

So instead, let's dope out the sheets.

Okay.

What do you think about chocolate pop in the third?

Chocolate pop?

The only thing that horse will give you is zits.

[Rustling]

[Crickets chirping]

Hound of the baskervilles.

[Max] Are you kidding?

Last time out, not even Sherlock Holmes

could find him at the finish.

I'm telling you, hound of the baskervilles.

[Freeway barking]

From the horse's mouth.

You know, you got a real nice family there.

The harts?

They're the best.

People with families,

they don't know how lucky they are.

Especially at Christmas.

You know, I got a grandma.

Yeah? Where is she?

I don't know exactly.

Monty's been trying to track her down,

sending letters all over the place.

You got no idea how many Rileys there are.

Maybe Mr. H. Can help you.

- He's a well-connected guy. - [Riley] Yeah?

That'd be nice.

'Cause I think I'm gonna be all alone at Christmas.

Come on, monty will be back.

[Riley] No, he won't.

I'll bet you he shows up tomorrow morning.

Probably lost his key, that's all.

'Cause he's sloshed.

Look, he ain't perfect, nobody is.

Maybe he took a drink, maybe more than one.

But I'll bet you tomorrow morning he shows up,

- scratching at your door... - [Riley chuckles]

with his tail between his legs,

- begging you to forgive him. - [Riley chuckles]

Yeah, well, maybe, he will come home tonight.

But what if he did lose his key?

He'll sleep with the horses.

Give me a good-night kiss.

You know, you could make somebody a terrific mom.

Good night, maxie.

Good night, kid. Pleasant dreams.

[Door thuds]

Now, shh, freeway.

[Barks]

Shh! Be quiet.

[Mellow music playing]

"Dear, Max,

gone to see a man about a horse.

Back in an hour with ice cream."

Hm. And I didn't get a chance to pick a flavor.

[Freeway barking]

What's with freeway?

[Barking continues]

[Max] Hey! The kid!

Gee, I don't think I like being a mom.

[Freeway barking]

[Max] Don't worry, freeway. We'll find her.

[Tense music playing]

That's enough.

[Door thuds]

A car's pulling up.

Let him go. Let him go.

Hello? Anybody here?

You in there, Riley?

Hello? Anybody here?

Hey!

- Let me out! Hey! Help! - [Door banging]

[Neighs]

[Horse neighs]

Hi, uh,

I'm sorry to intrude,

but the door seems to be locked.

- [Whinnying] - Wait a minute,

don't get excited. I... I'm sure

- we can work something out. - [Whinnying]

[Whinnying continues]

Help!

Help!

Help!

[Horse whinnying]

Help! Help!

Get me out of here!

[Neighing]

Mr. H.

Max, get back.

I'm trying. I'm trying.

[Jennifer] Jonathan!

[Jonathan] Easy, now, easy!

Stiletto!

No, Riley, don't go in there!

[Riley] Stil... Stiletto calm down!

Easy, boy.

There you go.

[Rustling]

Well, that's very impressive, Riley.

Well, he's okay once you get to know him.

He just doesn't like strangers in his stall.

I got the message.

[Eerie music playing]

Jonathan.

[Crickets chirping]

It's monty.

Is he drunk?

[Riley] Monty.

Monty.

[Riley sobbing] Monty!

I'm sorry.

Monty.

Monty.

[Sobbing]

[Jennifer] Good morning.

How's Riley?

[Sighs] Freeway's keeping watch over her, she's still asleep.

I didn't have the heart to disturb her.

You know, there's something still puzzling me.

How could you get trapped in that stall so conveniently?

I'm telling you, something sure smells,

and it ain't the horses.

Did you talk to lieutenant grey this morning?

Yes, I did.

He doesn't honestly believe it was an accident, does he?

Well, the police admit that the bump on monty's head

was not made by a horse print.

[Max] And I'll bet you the autopsy report

will show that most of the booze is on the floor

and not in monty.

Yeah, somebody wanted him to do something he didn't wanna do.

Like mess with j.J., huh?

Well, what do you know.

The handicappers picked j.J. As the favorite

in tomorrow's race.

- [Jennifer] Really? - Hmm.

His only competition is diamond edge.

Take a look.

[Clanks]

Diamond's edge.

She's owned by that man sommerton.

Didn't diamond edge have a couple of good starts,

but is not doing very well lately?

[Max] That's right.

But I heard that horse is much better than she shows.

A stable boy told me that she's ready

to run her shoes off.

Well, she's listed here at 20-to-1.

That's pretty strange odds for a horse that's ready to go.

[Max] Yeah, at 20-to-1,

a heavy better could make a big bundle on diamond edge.

[Jonathan] All you'd have to do...

Is to make sure

that the best horse in the race, j.J...

Didn't come in first.

[Ominous music playing]

[Cleaver] Mr. Sommerton.

[Sommerton] Cleaver.

I don't think the police bought poor monty's accident.

Look, I'm not interested in the past.

Did you phone in the bets?

Yes, Mr. Sommerton.

But there are some... but what?

It's too late for buts.

About the kid.

I contacted a couple of gentlemen

who will pick up the little package.

[Man] Hey, Ben, I got somebody on the phone.

You know where Riley is?

Why, who's asking?

Kid's grandmother is up at the steward's office.

[Ben] No kidding?

Monty's been looking all over for her.

[Man] Looks like they finally found each other.

[Ben] I'll go up and point her in the right direction.

- Thank you. - [Man] You bet ya.

My friends would like some front money.

You just put your friends on hold.

I have a cleaner idea.

[Horse neighing]

[Jonathan] There we are.

That's just about...

- Perfect. - [Jennifer chuckles]

[Max] Ho! Ho! Ho!

Merry Christmas.

Let me help you with that.

Max, we've got some news for you.

Yeah.

Riley's grandmother called.

She's coming up to get her.

That's great.

It's always nice to have family for Christmas.

[Jennifer chuckles]

- Does the kid know? - [Jennifer] Oh, yeah.

She's upstairs getting ready.

Her grandmother comes from buffalo.

Hey, buffalo.

That's real cold, ain't it?

[Phone ringing]

I got it.

Hart residence.

[Constance] This is constance Riley.

Who is this, please?

- [Max] This is Max. - [Constance] Oh, hello.

I'm ernestine's grandmother.

Ernestine?

I'm not feeling all that well

and I was wondering,

could someone drop ernestine off at my hotel

if it's not too much trouble?

Certainly, Mrs. Riley. It ain't too much trouble.

[Constance] Thank you so much.

So you'll come now?

Hotel barrow, room 101.

Got ya. I'll have her there in a jiffy.

Goodbye.

[Tense music playing]

Ah, ernestine, dear.

Would you please pass this to your uncle Max?

Thank you.

I'm so very happy to have found you at last.

Riley's a little concerned about no horses in buffalo,

but I told her it wasn't the case.

[Constance chuckles] Oh.

As a matter of fact,

we have our own stables at the house.

- You do? - [Constance] Oh, yes.

Horses have always been in the Riley family.

See, what did I tell you?

Right, Howie.

[Footsteps approaching]

Right.

Okay, you make those calls for me

and check on the off-track betting.

I'll call you first thing in the morning.

Right. Thanks very much.

What did he say? He said, it's too early

to tell if there's any big money going down on the race tomorrow.

Well, there certainly won't be any big bets

at the track. No, that would blow the odds

and it would blow sommerton's cover.

I just had a very interesting call.

What?

The gate buzzer just rang.

It's Riley's grandmother. She's on her way up here.

[Ominous music playing]

Mr. Hart, Mrs. Hart,

I'm constance Riley.

[Jennifer] I don't quite understand.

Understand? I'm here to pick up Riley.

But you're not supposed to be feeling well.

Oh. [Chuckles] Who told you that?

What's the name of that hotel?

Well... I ought to be shoving off.

[Phone ringing]

Who could that be?

Ernestine, hand me the phone, please.

Hello?

Oh, yes.

Just a moment.

It's for you, Max.

For me?

Yeah?

Max, I think grandma's a phony.

Better get out of there right away

and take Riley with you.

We're on our way.

Sure, Mr. H.

A bottle of soy sauce and a dozen eggs.

Thank you.

They got their hearts set on eggs fu Yung tonight.

Well, I guess I'd better be going.

Oh, wait a minute, I just remembered something.

I forgot to give you your Christmas present.

Well, it ain't Christmas yet.

I like to get a jump on things.

Walk me down to the car and I'll give it to you.

[Sommerton] Don't rush off, Max.

You can give us all a lift.

[Ominous music playing]

Jonathan.

Darling, listen to this.

"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hart,

thank you for being so kind to Riley,

we will try to be the same,

but that will be entirely up to you.

Love, granny.

P.s. Max says you should send out

for Chinese."

[Music rising to crescendo]

[Jonathan] Like I told you, lieutenant,

the phone call was very brief.

They said we either pull back our horse,

or we'll never see Max and the little girl again.

Why don't you just scratch the horse?

[Jennifer] We can't.

If we do that, the odds will go down

on sommerton's horse.

What makes you so sure it's sommerton's?

[Jonathan] Because she's going off

at 20-to-1.

I talked to a friend of mine in Vegas.

He checked with a few people he knows and he told me that

there's a lot of heavy money going down on diamond edge.

Look, Jonathan, what do you want?

I mean, I can't go on your speculations.

Now, what I need is facts.

Which is exactly why I'm not on his doorstep.

[Lieutenant] Have you spoken to the racing association?

[Jonathan] Yes, I've talked to the racing association

I've talked to the racing officials.

They've been keeping quite an eye on sommerton.

They need evidence just as you do.

Well, why don't they scratch the whole race?

We've thought of that.

If we did that,

that would be the end of Max and Riley.

Look, lieutenant,

we gotta play for time.

Now, win, place or show,

we've got to get to them

by the end of the eighth race tomorrow,

or that'll be it.

[Ominous music playing]

Hey, you ain't eating your dogs.

I'm not hungry.

So, I don't have a grandma after all.

Ah, who needs a grandma? [Groans]

Besides, you don't wanna go to buffalo.

It's cold there.

Did you really get me something for Christmas?

Sure, I did.

Well, what is it?

You'll find out Christmas.

Do you think we're really gonna make it

to Christmas, maxie?

Do you think they're gonna let us go?

Yeah, sure they will.

We can really blow the whistle on them.

Yeah.

They ain't gonna let us go.

Come on, kid.

We gotta think of a way of breaking the odds.

[Announcer] The horses are in the paddock area now

for the eighth race at six-and-one-half furlongs.

Oh, there you are, Mr. Hart.

I've been looking all over for you.

You find anything?

Not yet, but we will.

Between my security people and the police,

Mr. Sommerton won't be making any swift moves.

Try not to worry. We'll find them.

You don't mind an extra pair of eyes, do you?

Sure, as long as they're yours.
