The story

Beth is becoming bored with her life in Florida, doing stripteases and lap dances for private customers. Her dad, Jerry, unaware of the nature of her earning, tells her to follow her dream of moving to Las Vegas, where she seeks honest work as a cocktail waitress. A young woman named Holly, who lives at the same Vegas motel, arranges for Beth to meet Dink Heimowitz, a professional gambler who follows the fast-changing odds on sporting events and employs assistants at Dink, Inc., to lay big-money bets for him.
