Meet Frankie Mendez, a young and ambitious Mexican American from Wisconsin. Frankie starts a job as a salesman and realizes he has talent for making money. Little by little he works his way up in the company and also becomes involved in sports betting. Finally he decides to go into business for himself and opens his own “Bookie” outfit.
