Genial and entertaining thriller. Chet is a New York cab driver who gets a tip on the horses in lieu of a tip in cash. When the tip comes trough and Chet goes to collect his winnings, he finds his bookie shot dead. Two rival gangs, the cops, the wife and the bookie's sister all think Chet had something to do with it and all he wants to know is who he's supposed to get his money from. There's a great sequence in the dead man's flat with cops and gangsters coming and going and going and coming that's worth the entrance fee alone. Good stuff.
