The Gambler from Natchez

The Gambler from Natchez is a 1954 American Western film directed by Henry Levin and starring Dale Robertson and Debra Paget.

At her family plantation, Araby, he meets her brother André and fiancé Claude St. Germaine, who become noticeably less friendly when they learn that he is Chip Colby's son.

He is spotted by Melanie, and his wound is treated by Barbee after Josh pulls the knife carefully out.

He learns from Police Commissioner Renard that the elder Colby was accused of cheating and shot by Rivage.

Rivage's claim is backed by casino owner Nicholas Cadiz and a waiter name René Garonne.

Vance's enemies try to frame him by planting Garonne's body in his hotel room, but St. Germaine is caught in the act.

Vance then has Barbee pose as a fabulously wealthy owner of a coffee plantation in order to gamble at Cadiz's casino.

When Barbee begins to win, Cadiz sends a ringer to the table who gives a code phrase to the dealer to switch to marked cards.
