Fraser and Kowalski arrest the legendary Denny Scarpa, a beautiful professional poker player. When the Feds want to use Denny as bait to capture a dangerous fugitive, Fraser discovers the stakes are much higher than he imagined. The Chicago PD is cracking down on gambling. With Kowalski as their man on the inside, they stake out a big money poker game. Unfortunately, they aren't quite prepared for a masked man who blasts a hole through the wall and takes off with the pot. The robber, Joey, gets away but the police arrest a professional poker player: the beautiful and legendary Denny Scarpa. To Fraser's surprise, Dief falls in love with Ante, Denny's poodle. The Feds turn up and offer Denny a deal. She's scheduled to play a grudge match against Farah, a fugitive on their ten most-wanted list. If she helps them capture Farah, they'll drop the charges against her. When Joey turns up at Denny's apartment, Fraser is worried that Joey may be trying to eliminate her as a witness. Fraser takes Denny to the consulate for protection. Kowalski warns him not to fall in love with Denny: she's a dangerous woman with a mysterious past. On condition that he be allowed into the game with Farah, Fraser hands Denny over to the Feds. The cops try to teach Fraser to play poker, but they're frustrated by his natural honesty. They think he's bluffing and he wins every pot. On the big night, the Feds and the Chicago PD set up a surveillance room next door to the game. Just before the game begins, Fraser learns Farah killed Denny's brother. As he watches on the monitor, Kowalski realises that Joey is at the table. Farah's not the most dangerous man in the game after all. Kowalski bursts in, creating mayhem. Fraser pursues Denny onto a ledge, and as they balance there, with the city below them, Fraser must make a difficult decision.
