Hole horgue, whole orgue or something like that

I was trying to transcribe the dialogue of a U.S. movie filmed in 1946 and never released on DVD. It doesn't have subtitles. I have a problem with two words that I can't recognize. They are not hole horgue, of course, but they sound approximately like that (maybe whole orgue).

For context, the complete sentence is:

I'm sorry, Randall, but you must remember my position. I've got into this job club deal [hole horgue], but my friends to do so too. Now it's a quarter million dollars involved, with nothing more to show than an option on a piece of shore land and this blueprint.

NOTE: The men are swindlers. The blueprint is a doctored photograph.I don't understand the meaning of the fragment 'hole horgue to do so too'.

Any help, please?
