โฆ Synopsis
Montana Slim plays Seven Card Stud in Las Vegas. A player fills a longshot draw to an inside straight and is accused of hand mucking. The other players suspect he has escaped from a mental facility, but he may be crazy like a fox, since he keeps winning. A proposition bet and a series of escalating arguments cause an inquiry involving truth serum, hypnosis and expert interrogation techniques.
