Hoagy Carmichael plays a piano player named Happy at the Last Chance Casino, where he observes all manners of business. When singer Linda Rollins (Jane Russell) and her investment-broker husband Lloyd (Vincent Price) arrive, scheming around the couple and foul-play ensue. This leads to an investigation led by Linda’s old flame, now a Vegas police lieutenant (Victor Mature), an eventual pursuit into the Nevada desert. This pulpy noir is directed with style under the RKO guidance of Howard Hughes, and our man Happy (Hoagy) gets the last laugh. (35mm Presentation)
