The underworld horses are sent to give each other a sum of money, and along the way they are given a glove - a glove made by Hook and his master and partner Luke.
When the leader of the underworld, Lonnigan, learned of the incident, he ordered his subordinates to find the trapper and kill him.
After getting more than 10,000 at a time, Hook took his share to gamble, and he lost. He goes to Luke, who says he wants to wash his hands and introduce him to Gondorf, a good friend in Chicago.
After leaving Luke, Hook was stopped by a police detective - the detective investigated through his own means that Hook had defrauded Ma Zai's money, so he extorted Hook, and Hook gave him a lot of counterfeit money.
Hook went back to find Luke, trying to tell Luke this, only to find that Luke had been killed. He fled quickly and went to Chicago to find Gondorff.
Gundorf didn't look like a master at all. He was so drunk that he had to stick his head in the ice to wake himself up. After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Gundorf decided to make a big deal.
Gundorf first found his two old partners, and they worked together to study the plan. Lonnigan has no hobbies, except for one thing - he likes to gamble with people on a train.
So Gondorff took Luke onto the train. Gundorf's poker tricks are naturally superior to Lonnegan, who lost a lot of money and was very angry. Hook took advantage of the opportunity for money to defect to Lonnigan. Lonnigan naturally distrusts Hook, so Gundorf and Hook have to prove it to Lonnigan next.
Back in Chicago, Gondorf asked his old partner to find an apartment, disguised him as a casino as soon as possible, and recruited various swindlers to play the role in the casino. At the same time, Hook was targeted by the previous policeman...
Hook first provided Lonnigan with news, and Lonnigan won a sum of money; the second time with another news, it quickly proved that the news was also true. Lonnigan is suspicious by nature, and he must know how Hook has inside information. Hook said he had a partner who belonged to the Telegraph Company. Lonnigan wanted to see the partner Hook said, so Gondorf's two partners devised a plan that convinced Lonnigan again.
Lonnigan finally completely believed in Hook, and this time, he would bet half a million.
Hook is constantly looking for trouble by the police. On this day, both the police and Hook were found by the FBI. The leader of the FBI asked both the police and Hook to cooperate with the FBI and bring Gondorf to justice. As a condition, Hook can be quietly released.
After Lonnigan made his bet, the FBI arrived and the scene was chaotic. Gundorf learned that Hook had framed him, and shot Hook, who fired back, and both fell in a pool of blood. The police took advantage of the chaos and dragged Lonnigan away.
After the police and Lonnigan escaped, Gondorf and Hook got up from the ground - it turned out that the FBI was also played by Gondorf.
