Daddy Burns is a rich man and a gambler who loves taking high risks – and expects the same from his opponents. Eddie Vallance accepts the challenge.
Der reiche "Daddy Burns" ist ein leidenschaftlicher Spieler, der seine Gegner kidnappen und sich ins Haus liefern läßt. Tommy Vaughn überlebt die Variation des Russischen Roulettes nicht, die Burns ihm aufzwingt. Dann geht Daddys Gefährtin Ilse mit Eddie Vallance der nächste Fisch ins Netz.
Strukturelle Ähnlichkeiten zu A Coffin for the Bride - man vergleiche die Rollen von Byrnes und Mirren - sind nicht zu übersehen.
