Description: Mary Rutledge, a gold digger, arrives in San Francisco Bay to wed a wealthy owner of a gold mine who lost his mine when the roulette wheel landed on red 13 times at the Bella Donna. The men at the wharf reluctantly inform her that her fiancé is dead, murdered most likely by Louis Chamalis. Mary meets Chamalis and agrees to be his companion, not only for economic reasons (as an attraction, she helps draw in customers), but for personal pleasure as well. Their relationship sours quickly, however, as Swan is angered by Chamalis's destructive power-mongering.
