| + | We open with the group of gamblers, including the Professor and Horsethief who are the friends of Little Pinks, contributing various sums toward getting Pinks and "Her Highness" a seat on the train to Florida. They raise $115.75 "and one gold watch, solid with Switzerland movement". They decide to "increase the sum" by waging it all on a horse-race. | ||

| + | Now we cut to Pinks apartment, where he and Gloria are getting ready for their trip. The Professor and horsethief rush in all excited because they think they are going to pay for the trip. Then they learn that their horse didn't come in, so they lost the money. | ||

| + | Next we see Pinks trying to push Gloria and her wheelchair through the Holland Tunnel. This is the '''stupidest''' scene in the entire movie. And whoever wrote it and directed it needs to be dug up and beaten. Anyway, a truck driver gives them a hitch to Washington, D.C. So after a combination of pushing and hitching rides, we next find them on Miami Beach. | ||

| + | They find their way to Violette and Nicely's Bar-B-Que stand where Gloria acts imperiously, then goes to her room. Violette (Agnes Moorehead) turns to Pinks and says, "She hasn't changed much has she?" "You're a fool, a terrible, terrible fool, and somebody ought to kick you around the block." | ||
