The ancient and inveterate gambler has just found out he hasn't long to live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRefusing to believe his prognosis, though, Stan puts a massive bet on that he will reach his next birthday. Surely, his run of bad luck can't last!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately for Stan the independent bookie he uses grows nervous as the big day approaches and decides to bump him off with one of her many fun, but ever-so-slightly fatal, high-odds proposition bets - aka Maggy's Specials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWill Stanley McCloud make it, ruining Maggy McCulloch in the process; or will the heartless bookie have her evil way, 'accidentally' kill him, and save her business?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerhaps Stan's womanising, alcoholic old pal Dougie can be of some help?
