Summary: Stanwyck portrays a calculating card shark who fleeces passengers on transatlantic ocean liners. When she discovers that an ingenuous young millionaire is on board, she figures he’ll be a pushover if she plays her cards right. Sure enough, he does fall for her, but surprise–she also falls for him. When he’s tipped off that true romance is not in the cards because she’s giving him a fast shuffle, his fondness fades. Now she realizes that if she wants to win him back, she’s got to stop her double-dealing, and she does but not before she turns up a few tricks of her own.
