Bob Goldthwait, Dabney Coleman and John Candy star in this comedy about a hapless stockbroker who knows the meaning of inner pain and the unscrupulous, philandering stepfather who belittles him unmercifully. But things are about to change in the hysterical Hot to Trot. That would be the day a bay-colored horse sidles up to Fred P. Chaney (Goldthwait) and he utters three shocking, life-changing words: "We've gotta talk." After he gets past the screaming and disbelief, Fred finds that whether he likes it or not, he has a new friend. It's Don, a talking horse who convinces Fred to take on the challenge of his inheritance--namely running half the family brokerage.
