Don't Bet on Blondes background

Don't Bet on Blondes

An insurance agent's professional obligation to protect a client's daughter's single status unexpectedly evolves into a romantic connection.

A charismatic gambler and bookmaker, "Odds" Owen, leaves his old profession to start an insurance business, attracted by the promise of better odds and less risk. He underwrites any policy offered to him, convinced that his network can guarantee no losses. Colonel Jefferson Davis Youngblood, a man who abhors work, purchases a $50,000 policy against his daughter Marilyn's marriage, as she's his sole support. To prevent the policy from paying out, "Odds" employs some men to deter potential suitors. However, when he meets Marilyn and falls in love, he faces a major conflict of interest.
