Summary:
Dan Gannin is a San Francisco bookie who has decided to go straight and marry Robbie, the girl he loves. His plans are dashed when he learns that his friend Hal, a fellow bookie, has been murdered by a vicious East Coast mob run by Phil Dickson. Vowing revenge, Gannin decides to single-handedly smash the gang. Enter his childhood friend, police detective Ruson, who implores Gannin to join him so they can legally destroy Dickson. Gannin refuses-- to his mind, working with the police is too much like being a stoolie. It is only when Gannin learns that Robbie is in reality Dickson's wife and has been keeping the gang informed of his every move, that Gannin decides to join Ruson, setting the state for a final, bloody confrontation.
