Cliff Hardy is flattered to be offered the job as head of security at the new Sydney casino. But the thought of office hours and wearing a suit put him off and her refuses in facour of his friend, Scot Galvani.

When Galvani is murdered and the police are indifferent and the widow pleads with Hardy to help, how can he refuse? In the course of his investigation he takes the job at the casino, meets the attractive but unpredictable Vita Drewe and adds to his list of enemies. Galvani's killers are closer to home than Hardy anticipated; his life is on the line and so is his relationship with Glen Withers.
