Each year, the winner of the local poker tournament in Huck's town gains the right to wear a silver watch blessed by the Pope. Last year, Mr. Abbott, "the most obnoxious poker player anybody had ever seen," won the event and swiped the watch right off Huck's father's wrist as he lay dying in the hospital. This year, Huck is in Mr. Abbott's pre-calculus class at high school. He's going to study Abbott's every move, enter the tournament, and get that watch back.
