Plot outline

The immense riches of gambling hall owner Real are stored behind a brilliantly devised security lock in his subterranean vault. Criminal croupiers press their aging boss to finally divide the fortune they collectively massed up together. Yet in view of his death, the old crook is hit by strong regrets. He is constantly pursued by the eyes of a little girl, whose father he had once driven into suicide. The girl, Kathleen Kent - in the mean time a pretty young woman - should get the fortune.
