Synopsis by Hal Erickson
George Raft plays Lucky Nick Cain, a successful American gambler who acts as an advance man for a posh Italian casino. Colleen Gray is a tourist who loses all her money at the casino, but Cain falls in love with her and tries to make good her debts. Cain and the girl find themselves in jeopardy when both are framed for a murder. The gambler does a little detective work on his own, and traces the killing to a gang of counterfeiters. Lucky Nick Cain was one of several "tax shelter" European films made by the notoriously improvident George Raft.
