Brief Synopsis
J. Ward Thomas of Park Avenue leads a double life as an investment broker and as notorious gambler Spade Martin, despite the protests of his beautiful wife Natalie, a nightclub singer who retired when they married. Spade’s younger brother “Chick” wires Spade from Seattle that he has quit gambling for a job in real estate and is about to marry a nice girl named Betty. Relieved to find his kid brother is straight, Spade sends him $10,000 cash as a wedding present. When a woman posing as a pregnant wife comes to Spade for a loan, Spade gives it to her. Later, when Steve Burdick, the woman’s supposed husband, brags in a bar that he made a fool of Spade, Spade’s hit man, Trigger, kills Burdick. Tired of Spade’s gambling, Natalie books a return engagement at Cafe Nocturne, telling him that she is a singer rather than a wife now. Spade promises to go straight in six days; however, Chick arrives in New York with a cocky attitude after having made fifty grand out of the ten. He is now ready to gamble against Spade Martin himself, unaware Spade is his brother. To teach Chick a lesson, Spade sets up one more game with “Big Ed” Bullock, the head of a gambling ring that lures wealthy tourists into joining them at poker. Inevitably, the outsider takes a heavy loss, and the gang splits the profits. Spade tells Big Ed he wants Chick to go straight, but while Spade and Natalie are at a romantic hideaway, Chick wins $70,000 in the poker game. Big Ed, furious, believes that Spade set him up and threatens to murder Chick if Spade does not get him his money back. Spade, meanwhile, has promised Betty that he will send Chick back to her a broke, but decent man. Following the game, Big Ed orders Spade’s old gang to locate him, and while Natalie sleeps, Spade slips out of their cabin and returns to the city. Big Ed, meanwhile, has invited Chick to play Spade in another game, in which Spade plans to help Big Ed beat Chick. When Chick recognizes his brother, he is more determined than ever to beat him, but cannot outwit Spade. Near the end of the game, Chick has lost $50,000 to Spade, but Spade is caught dealing from the bottom of the deck, although he swears he has never turned a crooked card before. Chick, disheartened, walks out, and Big Ed threatens to have Spade killed by his own former henchmen if he does not return the balance of Chick’s profits. Natalie, meanwhile, has woken up to discover that Spade has again deserted her and vows to end their marriage. The now reformed Chick leaves New York with Betty, and Spade sends them $10,000. Natalie returns to the Cafe Nocturne and, that night, Big Ed is seated in the audience with his thugs. When Spade arrives at the club, one of the thugs shoots him. Fatally wounded, he returns Big Ed’s money, then exits through the audience and collapses as Natalie sings a torch song.
