Juego sucio
Sammy
Ciudad de Sidney, en el año 1969. En esa época los bajos fondos eran algo atractivo, fresco, un mundo de ensueño para vividores y policías corruptos. La multitud de soldados americanos llegados hasta tierras australianas, procedentes de la guerra de Vietnam, habían convertido la ciudad en un gigantesco lupanar. En ese ambiente se moverá como pez en el agua nuestro protagonista: un hombre casado, acostumbrado a perseguir chicas, arriesgar en el juego y vivir al otro lado de la ley. Sin embargo la bonanza de la mafia local hará que los capos del hampa de Chicago decidan apropiarse de una parte de ese suculento pastel. Por eso hasta la ciudad se trasladará uno de sus secuaces más peligrosos.
