[2] Gambling is second nature to Kim Halliday (Russell), whose father taught her all its ins and outs.

So it comes as quite a surprise to its real owner, Victor Monte, when a total stranger begins behaving as if the place is hers.

Taffy Tremaine is performing there, and she's just jealous enough to be concerned that Victor might take a fancy to this new woman rather than to her.

Together they spruce up Kim's hotel, rename it, hire Taffy to perform and give the Flamingo a run for its money.

Victor agrees, whereupon Kim learns that he and the Flamingo are actually having no money troubles at all, their new partnership being what he'd had in mind all along.
