Edgar Fitz, the King of Gambling, honors his dying master Rodney Dixon’s final request: marry Rodney’s only daughter Esme and shield the Dixon family for three years. He hides his identity and devotes himself to protecting and caring for Esme, but his quiet dedication is met with scorn and mockery from Esme and her mother. Edgar endures in silence until the agreement has only three days left. Then Esme is lured by a friend into a gambling scheme that threatens the family’s fortune. Edgar reveals his mastery at the last moment, outplaying their opponent and saving the Dixons. Afterward he quietly departs. When Esme discovers he has gone, panic drives her to search everywhere for him.
