There, he is met by the man from the alley who, after introducing himself as Ballin Mundson, the owner of the casino, accuses Johnny of cheating. Johnny is cashing in his chips when he is summoned to the office. The man then directs Johnny to a posh Buenos Aires casino, where he then enjoys a winning streak. When Johnny Farrell, a callous young gambler new to the Argentine, is held up in a dark alleyway by a thief who demands his money or his life, a sinister man steps from the shadows and banishes the robber with a knife he has concealed in his walking stick.
