A series of feature films starring Bob Hope
with Lucille Ball
and William Demarest, Bruce Cabot
Left as security on a bet, five-year-old Martha Jane finds her way to the flinty heart and, even more surprisingly, to the moth-ridden pocket of Sorrowful Jones, a penny-pinching small-time book-maker.
Tonight's film, though coming from a story by Damon Runyon, is virtually a re-make of the famous Shirley Temple movie "Little Miss Marker" which that precocious tot made in 1934 at the age of six. Runyon also provided the script for another Hope comedy seen in the previous 'Laugh With Hope' season - "The Lemon Drop Kid."
