Superstar Bing Crosby stars in Double or Nothing , an outrageously funny comedy about four people on a mission to get rich. A singer (Crosby), a burlesque dancer (Martha Raye), a tramp (Andy Devine) and a gambler (William Frawley) are four strangers honest enough to find and return wallets each containing a $100 to their rightful owner. Little do they know that all four of them are now part of an eccentric millionaire's will. If any of the four can double $5000 in thirty days, they will get the millionaire's estate in its entirety. However, they must face the millionaire's family who will stop at nothing to keep these four common folk from moving up in class. A story of striking it rich has never been funnier in this comedy which also features several songs by Bing Crosby including "The Moon Got in My Eyes" and "All You Want to do is Dance".
