The Mississippi Gambler is a 1953 American Western film directed by Rudolph Maté and starring Tyrone Power.

There, he meets the father of Angelique and Laurent, the suave Edmond Dureau, a noted fencer who is impressed by Mark's own skill with the sword.

Dureau wishes his daughter would feel differently toward Mark, but Angelique instead weds banker George Elwood.

He and Edmond also give a helpful hand to Ann Conant, the sister of an unlucky gambler who committed suicide after losing the money entrusted to him by his firm.

Mark, who had refused to withdraw his money out of consideration for Angelique, despite widespread disquieting rumors, is left penniless, so he returns to his old life as a gambler.
