High Stakes

Bambi Rose (Sally Kirkland) is a sexy, albeit aging, New York prostitute who is at the mercy of a sadistic vicious racketeer pimp named Slim (Richard Lynch), who has his fingers in nearly every sort of crime imaginable. When a greedy unprincipled Wall Street stockbroker (Robert LuPone) whose fortunes become intertwined with Bambi's when a mugging leaves him at her doorstep, Bambi enlists his aid in stealing $4,000 from one of Slim's henchmen and saving her daughter out of the clutches of the mobsters she works for.
