Plot summary
Ray Mercer leaves prison on parole after serving time for taking four thousand dollars from a police pension fund. His wife Rebecca brings him to Las Vegas for a quick divorce. Because his parole bars him from entering a casino, he stays outside and pays a hostess to play the slot machines for him; the machines pay out four hundred fifty thousand dollars. At that same moment a gang moves on the casino. Detectives treat the jackpot as a staged distraction from the robbery and the couple as suspects. Ray and Rebecca are trapped inside the casino, which is surrounded, and they try to show that the win was theirs.
