Alan Beckwith, down and out and behind in his rent, goes to the home of North, a notorious bootlegger and underworld figure, and proposes that for $300 he will insure his life in North's favor for $100,000. He tosses two red dice, one showing two and the other four, and they agree that on December 24 Alan must die. To allay suspicion, Alan must marry a woman of North's choosing. Vane and Conroy, two of North's subordinates who have double-crossed him, are marked to die. Vane's sister, Beverly, begs North to relent, and he consents on the condition that she marry Alan. After their marriage, under the guard of Squint, their distrust develops into love and Alan tries to buy off North. Alan and Vane attempt to hijack North's rum cargo, but Beverly arrives with revenue agents. Squint proves to be an undercover man, and the gang is overcome.
