 * synopsis        =Godzilla has just arrived outside of Las Vegas and has attacked Boulder Dam, the torrent washing Godzilla towards Las Vegas. While in the city, Winslow Beddit has only one dime left and has to choose whether to use it to call his wife or put it in the slots in hopes of winning riches which may pay for medical treatment for his mother.

As Winslow's luck begins to change and he actually starts winning, Godzilla attacks, and the Godzilla Squad prepares to mobilize out to the area. Soon the rest of Boulder Dam cracks open, causing a torrential flood that destroys the city, causing Winslow to lose his riches. Godzilla leaves the city for a more peaceful place, and Winslow's riches have been washed away except for one last dime. This time he chooses to call his wife, who turns out had left him three years ago after his mother had died.
