Pot o' Gold is a 1941 American romantic musical comedy film starring James Stewart and Paulette Goddard, directed by George Marshall, and based on the radio series Pot o' Gold. The film was released April 3, 1941, eight months before the NBC radio series came to an end. Paulette Goddard's singing voice was dubbed by Vera Van. The film was known as The Golden Hour in the United Kingdom and was re-released in 1946 by Astor Pictures as Jimmy Steps Out.

Plot
Jimmy Haskell is the owner of a music store. His uncle, C.J. Haskell, dislikes music and has long wanted Jimmy to join him in his health food business. Jimmy agrees only after his music store closes. When Jimmy arrives at his uncle's place, he is confronted by members of the McCorkle family, who play in Heidt's band and often practice near C.J.'s business. C.J. is infuriated and attempts to stop the band using the police. Jimmy unintentionally throws a tomato at him, which makes a good impression on the band and the McCorkles, who do not know his true identity. Molly McCorkle falls in love with him.

When Jimmy substitutes for C.J. on his radio program, two band members find out who he is. They devise a scheme to persuade C.J. to take a vacation. In the meantime, Jimmy takes over the operation of the business and invites Heidt's band to play on the show. Molly learns Jimmy's identity, and in anger, she says on-air that the Haskell program will give away $1000 every week. To protect her from prosecution, Jimmy claims the idea is his. He then has to find a way to give away the cash; a federal investigator informs him that there are many legal restrictions that make every scheme Jimmy and his associates can think up illegal.

Jimmy finally comes up with a method just before the show airs. He gets a bunch of telephone books and steals a carnival wheel to select first the telephone book, then the page in it and finally the entry on the page to determine the winner. The giveaway is immensely popular, with advertisers clamoring to sign up. This reconciles the Haskells and McCorkles, paving the way for Jimmy and Molly to get married.
