Plot Summary

He loses money to crooked gambler Tito, goes home and PL: learns to gamble, and returns.
After he makes a fortune he opens his own place with Flaxen as the entertainer.
The 1906 quake destroys his place.
Summary written by Ed Stephan
Montana cowboy Duke Fergus travels to 1906 San Francisco to collect a debt from Tito Morell
who runs a place on the dodgy Barbary Coast. Though he heads home after losing the money
to Morell's card-sharping, Duke takes a crash course on card play and returns with all his savings
ready to take on Morell and start up his own place.
A lot of this is due to Morell's woman Flaxen whom Duke has fallen for.
The earth may soon be moving for him in quite dramatic ways.
