The man refuses to pay the I.O.U. because he found out the dice were loaded so Slim kills him. His brother Guy is arrested for the murder when he finds the body right before the police come in. Slim goes on the run with his wife while the Black Terror figures out that he is responsible and has to track him down to clear Guy's name.
