Raving Beauty is the name of Jim Gay’s (Wilfred Pickles) racing greyhound. With the big race only days away Jim pretends that Raving Beauty is in bad shape in order to lengthen its odds and clean up at the bookies. But keeping up the pretence with his wife, daughter, the whole street and the inveterate gamblers played by Jon Pertwee and Peter Butterworth is no easy task.
