The story
When Johnny Gamble's partner, Paul Gresham, steals all the corporate funds, Gamble is left to pay off the company shareholders out of his own personal fortune. After he's done with that, he is left with only $100 to his name. Feeling he has nothing left to lose, he heads to the racetrack, where he bets it all on a longshot, which wins the race, returning $15,000 to Gamble.
