While conveying a Porsche from Boston to Atlantic City, engine trouble stalls student Charlie. Mistaken as rich, he's invited to a big poker game--and wins big time. However, Denny Halloran, son of a mighty mobster, is a bad loser and starts a fight; but he's also a bad fighter, falls on his head, and dies. Now Charlie's in trouble; after he flees, Halloran's father puts a reward on his head. Even the police won't help him against the mighty man, so Charlie must run for his life.
