Alf, Fred and Flash are three bookmakers in need of a change of luck. Following a particularly bad day when they owe money to all their clients, they come up with an idea. Cardinal, a wonder horse, is due to race the next week, and they decide that if they can switch this animal for another that will lose, they will make a profit. So they put their plan into action, but unfortunately for all three men, several disasters befall them.
