From ""the lady that was known as Lou"" to the ""rag, and a bone, and a hank of hair"" comes the seduction of James Marius -- a survivor of many danger points and a lucky gambler. Lou Jackson carries him out of oblivion, restores him by passion, and enlists him for a big money robbery. From California to New York, to murder, jail -and escape -- Marius follows Lou's orders, protects her, wangles a false passport from Mexico, hides out on an island off Greece -- to find he has been gullible -- and discarded. Sin -- on the cynical side.
