In a dim parlor of a remodeled house a man named P. Sybarite sips a crafted cocktail and savors a banquet of lobster and wine before ascending to a second-floor gambling hall. The room holds roulette tables, electric domes, and gold drapery as dealers run games in a hush amid racing ivory balls and clipped voices.

The scene ends with a cliffhanger as he stakes twenty dollars on a final chip and the wheel spins toward an ominous fate.
