The film, set in California, opens with Cosmo Vittelli (Ben Gazzara) making the final payment on a longstanding gambling debt to a sleazy loanshark (played by the film's producer Al Ruban). To celebrate his long-anticipated freedom, burlesque club owner Vittelli has an expensive night out with his three favorite dancers ("Margo", "Rachael" and "Sherry"). The evening culminates in a poker game in which Vittelli loses $23,000, returning him to the debtor's position he had just left. Using the debt as leverage, his mob creditors coerce him into agreeing to perform a "hit" on a rival. Vittelli is led to believe that his target is a small-time criminal of minor consequence, the Chinese bookie of the film's title; but in fact, he is the boss of the Chinese mafia, "the heaviest cat on the West Coast." Vittelli manages to kill the man and several of his bodyguards, but is severely wounded before escaping.

L'ambiance tumultueuse et un peu immorale du festival de Cannes. Sur la Croisette, de nombreuses starlettes se font complaisamment photographier.

C'est un jeune homme oisif et complexé, en proie à de brusques accès de démence et chez qui le souvenir d'une mère morte alors qu'il n'était qu'un enfant et le dégoût du monde frelaté où évolue son père composent les arrière-plans de sa conscience tourmentée.
