Description
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, which she does but not before she turns up a few tricks of her own.
