Mr. Lucky

Joe Adams, a smoothly suave professional gambler and con man, assumes the 4-F identity of Joe Bascapolous, a small-time Greek career criminal now deceased, in order to avoid being drafted. The cynical Adams, stuck with an unsuccessful gambling ship, insinuates himself into a charity for war refugees by charming one of its directors, beautiful young socialite Dorothy Bryant. Over the objections of her grandfather, she becomes romantically involved with him and agrees to allow him to fleece rich socialites during a proposed casino night for charity. Con man Adams has no intention of splitting with anyone but his larcenous cronies until he reads something that causes him to have a change of heart.
