The Gambler bets a mob that he can spring their boss from jail. He poses as a doctor and gets the man released. When Torch and Toro foil one of his crimes, he bets his life that Torch and Toro will die. When he fails in his bid to kill them, he spins a roulette wheel attached to dynamite in his riverboat which kills him.
