Premise

Eddie Collins needs $1,000 to pay his wife's obstetrician. He is selected as a contestant on a special edition of Take It or Leave It, a long-running quiz show that later evolved into The $64,000 Question, in which the top prize is increased from its then-top prize of $64 to $1,000.
Collins chooses "Films" as his category. As such, the game show element serves as a framework for a compilation film featuring clips from other 20th Century Fox films.
