1929, in una città americana dell'Est: un potente e corrotto pezzo da 90 si scontra, a causa di una donna, con il suo amico e consigliere, mentre è in corso una lotta acerrima con un boss della malavita italoamericana. Film violento ma raffreddato, con risvolti di grottesco umorismo, dove l'intreccio tra politica, affari e criminalità organizzata è un dato di fatto quasi scontato, organico e non patologico.
