Little Wrangler Synopsis:Joe Backett and Eve Barrett, the latter acting as chief designer and swimmer model, operate the Neptune Swimwear Company. Eve's scatterbrained and man-hungry sister Betty Barrett also works with them. Joe, who is in love with Eve, suggests they put on an underwater spectacle in honor of a visiting South American polo team captained by Jos� O'Rourke. When the inexperienced Betty goes to the polo field looking for a visiting polo player with whom to fall in love, she meets who she believes is Jos�. Who she actually has met is Jack Spratt, the equally as inexperienced local masseur for the polo teams. Jack does not correct Betty's misconception as he believes she would never date a regular fella like him. Wanting to protect her inexperienced sister from an experienced South American athlete, Eve forbids the actual Jos� from dating Betty. Jos�, having never met Betty, agrees only on the condition that Eve go out with him instead. For Jos�, it's love at first sight with Eve. Things get complicated when Betty and Jack (pretending to be Jos�) get serious, and Eve and Jos� get serious, with Joe wanting to get Jos� out of the way, and Eve not wanting to feel anything for Jos� if only to protect Eve from getting hurt. A local mobster who thinks he can make some easy money if Jos� doesn't show up for the scheduled polo match adds further complications to the proceedings. Esther Williams and Red Skelton share equal screen time for once in the MGM Technicolor musical Neptune's Daughter. The title character is, of course, Williams, here cast as Eve Barrett, a bathing-suit manufacturer (and sometimes model). Skelton plays Jack Spratt, the masseur at a fancy polo club, who falls for Eve's sister (Betty Garrett). To prove worthy of her love, Jack poses as dashing Latin polo star Jose O'Rourke (Ricardo Montalban), resulting in a wealth of comic complications. The slapstick setpieces include a hilarious horse-mounting routine and a climactic set-to between Skelton and petty crook Mike Mazurki; there's also a few inspired moments from Mel Blanc, cast as a slow-talking Mexican. While Xavier Cugat is on hand as 'himself,' the film's musical high point is the Oscar-winning {&Baby It's Cold Outside}, performed first by Williams and Montalban and then by Skelton and Garrett. Scatterbrained Betty Barrett mistakes masseur Jack Spratt for Jose O'Rourke, the captain of the South American polo team. Spratt goes along with the charade, but the situation becomes more complicated when they fall in love. Meanwhile, Betty's sensible older sister Eve fears Betty's heart will be broken when Jose returns to South America. She arranges to meet with the real O'Rourke and love soon blossoms between them as well.
