Tom Fell, the boss, is gone, and Pander has temporarily taken over the rackets in town. He’s got some ideas of his own how the bookies should be operating. The business needs some fresh blood. Then Fell is back, back from his rest at Desert Farm where Dr. Emilson has been treating him for manic depression; back with Cripp, his right-hand man. Fell knows he’s been gone too long, that Pander has stepped in and made some changes. Pander thinks he’s got the big bosses behind him, but what he doesn’t know is that Fell may be manic, but he knows what he wants—power. And nobody is going to stop him from taking it.
