In "The Card Game," Richard Widmark plays a gambler desperate for a change in his luck.
Chick doesn't keep a steady job because he thinks he is a big-time gambler. The other gamblers tell him that he is just a two-bit chiseler, but Chick doesn't hear them.
Chick is convinced that he can win big and then stop. He knows other gamblers who have done it, so why can't it happen to him? Chick's wife, Jenny, has had enough. Their baby is due in a couple of weeks, but she wants to divorce him now. Jenny doesn't believe Chick will ever be able to stop gambling.
Will Chick's luck change, or is it hopeless for him?
