Synopsis

In New York in 1873, President Ulysses S. Grant announces that the national debt is at three billion dollars. Meanwhile, suave, professional gambler James Kincaid and his valet, Blackie, continue to earn their money at poker. James is invited to a charity ball hosted by investment broker Stephen Adams, and his daughter Coralie, in order to work the gaming tables and raise money for the charity. Although she is engaged to the affluent Gerald Forsythe, Coralie, who has inherited her father's interest in gambling is immediately attracted to James. Before the end of the evening, Stephen urges Gerald to marry Coralie soon, as he is counting on him to provide his daughter with security and respectability. After the ball, Stephen withdraws the deed to his "Gambler's Luck" silver mine in Nevada, and goes to play cards at James's casino. The next morning, the stock market crashes and panic grips Wall Street.
