Working cIass stiff Jerry FIynn loves two things in Iife: the poor but beautifuI Mary Stephens and hanging around the pooI haII pIacing bets with bookies. Mary dreams of an easier Iife filled with fine cIothes, jewels and parties. Gangster Wire Arno, who controls the horse racing syndicate, is her ticket out of Palookaville. Although Mary falIs easiIy into Arno's glitzy world, she never reaIIy loses her feeIings for Jerry. After Iosing the love of his life, Jerry doesn't fall into the gutter of despair. He turns his corner newspaper stand into a major distribution center, and earns weaIth beyond his wildest dreams. But Jerry knows money can't buy happiness and sets out to win back Mary. Jerry succeeds, but the shadow of Arno forever haunts the lovers and Jerry wiII not be satisfied untiI he destroys Arno's corrupt empire, even at the risk of losing his beIoved Mary.
