A psychotic man is threatening the patrons of Steve McClure"s pub and Red and Lou are called down to sort things out. When talking doesn"t help, Lou decides to shoot him instead, but is taken aback when his gun jams. Meantime Steve, is under pressure from Reardon aka "the Count" to take on his poker machines. The Count has sent Jimmy the Greek to the pub to swap the machines over, when a gunfight breaks out. Steve calls on Lou and Red to start earning their 10% and give him the protection he deserves. When negotiations between the two factions fail, the result is another shootout at the pub. Red and Lou decide they must bite the bullet and give up the pub to The Count. They agree on a meeting to finalise the deal, but it seems fate has a different ending in store and the bullet bites back.
