Synopsis:
Criminals run a night club that allows guests to gamble. When the guests win, the racketeers follow them home and rob them. The Flash stops the crooks, but he can't prove that they are being directed from inside the club. Eventually he receives a tip from Curt Ronald, an aspiring piano player. Curt has taken a job at the club to get a chance to audition for band leader Barry Brown. When Barry refuses to audition him, Curt gives the Flash the evidence he needs to apprehend the crooks including Barry and Curt himself. All are sent to prison where Curt achieves his dream of playing in Barry Brown's band, even though it is a prison band.
