Johnny then takes Aces counterfeit money away at super speed. Aces then tries to win money from the gamblers by fixing the games in his own favor. Johnny Quick invisibly prevents the tricks from working. Aces thinks Johnny must be responsible and accuses Johnny Chambers of being Johnny Quick. With one last trick, Johnny protects his identity and Tubby from Aces. The crook believes luck turned against him and gives up gambling.
