Petey convinces a gang-member to change his mind. He has called for Johnny to make Johnny see how heavily he had beaten the boy. The young man had wanted to leave the club. "The club" turns out to consist of young people who lost money by playing gambling machines. The owners provided money so that they were able to play on and then forced them to sell betting tickets for football games. Whoever wants to quit meets Petey.

Two reporters, Lorelei and Steve, are after stories: Steve works on the selling of the illegal sale of the football game cards and Lorelei marks all the places on the map where young people have been beaten up. Both find out that their stories match when they compare the places the incidents have taken place.

They come across Johnny Porter. He would not have been threatened if there had not been his blind father. A perfect target for Petey to control Johnny.

When Johnny becomes nervous after he has been followed by the reporter, Petey confirms with the owner and gets his order: To beat up Johnny. Petey beats Johnny down to make sure, he won't talk.

Through Johnny Lorelei has made contact with Marion. Her father's life had been saved by Johnny's father. Because she thinks she owes him, Marion does anything to protect Johnny. Together with Lorelei Marion pretends to be interested in gambling. Both are allowed to enter the locked room with the gambling machines.

They are detected as intruders and a fight begins. In this moment Steve enters and knocks down Petey. He and Lorelei arrest the owners.
