La historia

De camino a una pequeña granja de Texas, Meredith (Henry Fonda), Mary (Joanne Woodward) y su hijo de diez años, se quedan a descansar en un hotel de Laredo. Jugadores de todo el mundo, incluyendo al multimillonario Henry Drummond (Jason Robards, Jr.), se reúnen allí para participar en la partida de póker más importante del Oeste. Meredith, aficionado al juego, a pesar de las recomendaciones de su esposa, cae en la tentación y pierde todos los ahorros familiares. De repente, sufre un ataque cardíaco y, entonces, Mary se ve obligada a terminar la mano con el resto de los hombres. ¡Están en juego 20.000 dólares!
