Two Dollar Bettor is a 1951 black-and-white film. It is both a camp morality story and B-movie film noir.
A middle-aged man who places a two-dollar bet on a horse at the track and wins. The widower with two teenaged daughters becomes hooked on gambling and within a week he begins cashing in his life savings to pay off his bookie. To make matters worse, he's being grifted by a beautiful con woman and her husband for thousands of dollars. To try to get even, the man begins betting on long shots.
Former Little Rascals star Carl Switzer (Alfalfa) is also in the film.
