It's one stormy night. Workaholic casino owner Charley Enley Kyng (Clark Gable) gets a bad heart diagnosis and has to take it easy. He deals with high stress situations all day and all night. Lon Kyng (Alexis Smith) is his wife and his son feels abandoned. He also supports his sister in-law Alice (Audrey Totter) and her no-good husband Robbin Elcott (Wendell Corey). Robbin works as a dealer and is in $2k debt. He rails against Charley despite the help. The debt collectors offer him a way out by cheating Charley.
I like these one night movies. The casino is an interesting backdrop for a story. I would like more Clark Gable. I want the camera to follow him in more scenes. It needs some more daring in the camera and the story. It does need to build more tension. All in all, this is a good watch especially with Clark Gable as the lead.
