Nick Venizelos is an immigrant Greek barber who has an uncommon affinity for poker and other sorts of wagering. A group of his friends bankroll him in a big game. But, Nick's weakness is for pretty blondes. Sleazy game operator Sleepy Sam takes advantage of Nick's weakness and cleans him out in a rigged game. Nick finds help from his buddy Jack and the two turn the tables on the grifters.
We go from small town to "the city" & then "another city" in this tale of gambling, women, & ultimately murder.

Early and entertaining film noir. Robinson & Cagney are great together. Too bad Jimmy only had a supporting role, I would have liked to see him mix it up EGR a bit more. Interesting to see Boris Karloff play a pimp in one scene and get tossed by Robinson. Sad ending is glamorized by pre-code Hollywood.
