Everyone goes south of the border in this comic tale of horseracing, with lots of romance and nightclubbing tossed in. Glenda (Grable) wants to buy a horse from Ricardo (Ameche). But because their families have been feuding for years, Ricardo's father refuses. But in true Romeo and Juliet fashion, the two fall in love. (official distributor synopsis)
