Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
Danny (Huub Stapel) is an enterprising German who runs a disco that caters to American servicemen. In spite of his business (and the lucrative prostitution ring), Danny owes the bank and the mob tons of money from his addiction to gambling. He temporarily outwits the mob, but his disco is torched in retaliation, and two of his three hookers are taken for partial payment on his debts. Danny then turns a mobile library into a gambling operation in this tragic moral drama.
