When junkie Benny Rivas is stopped by Ness and his men, he tells them in his dying breath that the source of his heroin is the 808 Club. Ness knows the club's hostess, Maggie Storm, quite well.

In fact, she has set up a very clever trading floor where mobsters bid for anything from drugs to counterfeit money.
