The local authorities have gotten wind of it and want to put an end to the criminal machinations of this gangster ring with Jeff's help once and for all. When one day Jeff meets the beautiful Laura on site, who entertains the casino guests as a singer, the counter-attack with Miller at the top threatens to fail.
