Danny Haley's bookie operation is shut down, so he and his pals need money; when Danny meets Arthur Winant, a sucker from out of town, he decoys him into a series of poker games where eventually Winant loses $5000 that isn't his...then hangs himself. But it seems Winant had a shadowy, protective elder brother who believes in personal revenge. And each of the card players in turn feels a faceless doom inexorably closing in. Dark streets and sexy torch-singer Fran lend ambience. 　　译文(2): 丹尼 · 黑利的赌博业务已经关闭了，所以他和他的朋友们需要钱; 当丹尼遇到来自城外的笨蛋亚瑟 · 怀南特时，他诱骗他参加了一系列扑克游戏，最终怀南特输掉了不属于他的5000美元... 然后上吊自杀了。但是 Winant 似乎有一个神秘的，保护欲强的哥哥，他相信个人复仇。而每个纸牌玩家都感到一个无面的厄运正在无情地逼近。黑暗的街道和性感的火炬歌手弗兰借气氛。
