Vegas Kid, The

Sam Durango is riding high. He’s the star of the TV western “The Vegas Kid,” he’s married to a glamorous actress, and he lives in a beautiful home in the Hollywood Hills. And then everything goes to hell in a handbasket. When his show is cancelled and his wife leaves him (taking most of his money and the house, while she’s at it), Sam finds he has to make his way out in the cold cruel world.

Along the way Sam meets up with a ragtag cast of characters, including Sam’s archrival Buck Beaumont, a mystery woman, a couple of escaped cons, and some of the sharpest gamblers west of the Mississippi—and they’re all after one thing, to score the big jackpot at Blackies Casino on Halloween night
