{en} Dime with a Halo [1] (USA, 1963), directed by Boris Sagal.

Five Mexican street urchins steal a dime from the church's collection box and bet it on a race-horse.

Shortly after moving to Tijuana with his older sister, a young orphan befriends a group of street hustlers who place weekly long-shot bets at a local racetrack through a friendly American acquaintance. When the boys "borrow" a dime from their church donation box and unexpectedly win a bet worth $81,000, they discover that their friend has left town, and are unsure who to trust with cashing their winning ticket.
