Dixon and his partner split up, with Dixon going to Ken's place to see what he has to say. When Dixon and his partner get the call, the rich Texan is lying dead with a knife in his heart, Scalise says he was losing not winning when he died, and the guy (Craig Stevens as Ken Payne) who got into a fight with him over a girl (Gene Tierney as Morgan Taylor) is long gone, as well as the girl.

You see, the hayseed started winning - 19K to be exact - and then wanted to leave. Then a murder at a private game set up by Scalise to take an out of town hayseed. Dixon's superior says one more complaint about his rough stuff and he's off the force. So Dixon really sees his much hated but long departed dad in all of these rats he collars, thus the attitude. Merrill looks about as Italian as a Cro-Magnon man, in fact he actually resembles Cro-Magnon man, but that's another story. The problem is Dixon's father was a hood himself and got the current big cheese in the underworld, Tommy Scalise (Gary Merrill), his start in crime.

Dixon is in trouble with his superior because he beats up the hoods he encounters.
