Hot to Trot

Fred Chaney finds out he has inherited a peculiar buck-toothed horse named Don and half the ownership of a brokerage firm from his late mother. This surprise inheritance drastically alters Fred's straightforward bachelor life and sets off a chain of unusual events.

As Fred begins to come to terms with his inheritance, he discovers that Don has an extraordinary talent – he can communicate with both humans and animals. This ability not only endears Don to Fred but also sets him apart from ordinary horses.

Fred's stepfather, Walter Sawyer, plots to acquire Fred's share of the brokerage at a meager price. Despite Walter's manipulative efforts, Fred is adamant about keeping both his financial legacy and his newfound friend Don.

Determined to keep his inheritance intact, Fred takes Don on a journey to reunite him with his equine family. Along the way, Fred grapples with asserting his role at the brokerage, much to Walter's irritation.

To everyone's surprise, Don's communication skills extend into the realm of finance as he begins offering market predictions that lead to Fred amassing considerable wealth. This newfound fortune dramatically shifts Fred's lifestyle, allowing him to rent a luxurious penthouse.

As Fred enjoys his success, he becomes increasingly distracted by his wealth and neglects Don, who starts pretending to be ill. This forces Fred to bring Don into his penthouse, prompting a reevaluation of their bond.

At the stables, Don encounters Satin Doll, a beautiful white mare, sparking a romance. Complications arise as Satin Doll belongs to Walter's girlfriend, creating tension in both Fred and Don's lives.

Driven by jealousy over Fred's rapid financial success, Walter tasks his secretary, Allison, with uncovering the secret to Fred's newfound wealth. This investigation sets the stage for a series of chaotic events.

During an awkward date, Fred inadvertently reveals Don's role in his financial success to Allison, but she misinterprets his serious assertion as a joke. This misunderstanding leads to further complications in their budding relationship.

A chaotic party with various animal guests leads to a profound mess and strains the relationship between Fred and Don. Frustrated, Fred begins contemplating the true nature of their companionship following Don’s antics.

Despite feeling disillusioned, Fred is inspired by Don's enthusiasm for new investment opportunities. However, trouble brews when tainted oats lead to Don's health problems and Walter plots against Fred's financial stability.

Realizing Walter's underhanded tactics, Allison resigns in protest and uncovers Don's incredible abilities. Her decision to help Fred and Don reunite marks a pivotal turn in their struggle against Walter.

Fred and Allison plot to enter Don into a prestigious horse race, aiming to defeat Walter's stable that includes Satin Doll. This act of rebellion becomes a critical venture for both their ambitions and passions.

On race day, Don relies on Fred's guidance despite Fred's inexperience, facing off against Walter's top competitor, Lord Kensington. Don’s confidence wavers until he receives an uplifting visit from his father, offering him the strength he needs.

In a nail-biting finish, Don triumphs against all odds, resulting in a humiliating defeat for Walter. The film culminates in joyous celebrations as Fred and Don achieve their dreams, reinforcing their deep bond.
