Gambling Plot on a Riverboat Gambler Heist Plan
Benedict Kirk schemes to fleece an Indiana gambler aboard a riverboat by using a fake poker setup. The Indiaman agrees to join, bets rise, and four aces appear, but the conman’s trick backfires when three aces and a two-face hand reveal the deceit. The countryman flees with his winnings, leaving Kirk to bitterly recount the loss and carry on with scant restitution.
