Thank Your Lucky Stars

Archie hires his warehouse out for a charity fashion event, hosted by entrepreneur Felix Cornell, the same day he's agreed to look after a brand-new Porsche for old associate, Danny. After allowing Felix to believe the Porsche is his, Archie unwittingly enters a high-stakes poker game for the charity. When Felix raises the bet further, Archie stakes the Porsche - and loses!

Archie begs Felix to return the car but Felix will only offer him a chance to win it back at another poker game at his country manor. Outside, Jamie meets Wes Gray, a disgruntled ex employee of Felix's, and is forced to save Wes when he's almost run over. Archie agrees to another game and also puts poker expert Jamie forward hoping he'll beat Felix and win back the car.

But when they arrive at the Cornell mansion, Jamie suspects that Felix had tried to kill Wes, and tries to convince Felix's wife, Eve, that her husband is dodgy. During the game, Eve starts to think that Jamie might be right and secretly calls Wes, who admits that Felix tried to have him killed when he threatened to expose Felix's dodgy dealings.

Catching them in conversation, Felix challenges Jamie to a new game of poker - and offers the Porsche in exchange for Archie's fingers. Jamie enters the most dangerous card game of his life to claim back the car and save Archie's digits...
