The Silver Ball

Synopsis: 

Tommy Lazurus is the Pinball Wizard. His ability to detect rhythms and respond accordingly engendered his aptitude for both playing pinball and pleasuring women. In fact, his skilled hands have enabled him to earn a living. Though very successful, Tommy is discontent financially. Luckily, his rapid success in both pinball and prostitution catch the eyes of two casino managers, Wang Kang and Jessie James, who currently are killing off employees of their own pinball team in order to prevent a hostile takeover of their business. With the help from Brittany, a prostitute in their ring, Wang Kang and Jessie convince Tommy to work in their ring, which is called “The Stripe.”Upon his arrival to “The Stripe”, Tommy meets Ambrocio, an insane drugged-out pinball hustler with an unquenchable thirst for power. Tommy’s pinball success quickly causes Ambrocio to brew a passionate vendetta—he thus decides to challenge Tommy to a private game of pinball in order to prove his superiority. Meanwhile, Ambrocio and his band of pinball players discover the truth about their missing teammates. The remaining pinball players, with the exception of Ambrocio, attempt to kill Wang Kang and Jessie, but all are eliminated. Simultaneously, Ambrocio loses to Tommy, a loss that results in a pursuit to kill. His efforts prove unfruitful again as Jessie and Wang Kang save Tommy at the last moment.
