Doctor Hugo Hackenbush, Tony, and Stuffy try and save Judy's sanitarium by winning a big race with a finicky horse owned by Judy's boyfriend Gil. There are a few problems. Hackenbush, who was recently put in charge of the sanitarium, isn't really a doctor, he's a veterinarian.

VIBE

A whirlwind of mistaken identities and musical numbers. Expect broad comedy and a surprisingly charming caper as the underdog fights for a chance at glory. It's pure, old-fashioned fun.
