Four episodes dealing with the reactions of winners of a football pool—a suburban family in "The Stafford Family Story," a henpecked clerk in "The Atkins Story," a conniving couple in "The Night Club Story," and a fiddle player in "The Revolt of the Double-Basses."
In the first story, a content suburban family, headed by Jack Warner, is turned into an unhappy lot when they believe that they have the winning coupon in the football pool. The second is more tragic, with a mild-mannered clerk (Mervyn Johns) concerned about quitting his mundane job. The third is a suspenseful crime caper involving a coupon checker (Dennis Price) and his nightclub singer girlfriend (Greta Gynt)
