El señor Cory, cansado de vagabundear por los suburbios de Chicago, abandona la ciudad y se coloca de camarero en un lujoso hotel de la costa. Su trabajo le pone en contacto con jugadores profesionales y piensa, entonces, que con las cartas enderezará su vida. Sin embargo, le despluman en la primera partida. Pero Cory no desiste y se asocia con un viejo jugador con el que empezará a recorrer los "garitos" más prestigiosos del país.
