Anni Quaranta. Come è consuetudine, durante il rinfresco per festeggiare le nozze della figlia Conny con Carlo, il "padrino" don Vito Corleone promette assistenza e protezione a familiari e amici. Invia il figliastro Tom Hagen in California per convincere in ogni modo il produttore Jack Woltz a scritturare il cantante Johnny nel suo prossimo film. Woltz non acconsente. Tom allora lo costringe ad accettare con un "avvertimento": l'uccisione del suo cavallo di razza preferito. Sollozzo, a nome della potente "famiglia" Tartaglia, chiede a Corleone finanziamenti e appoggi per il traffico di droga. Il rifiuto scatena una lotta cruenta tra le due cosche: lo stesso don Vito viene ferito gravemente; il figlio minore Michael lo salva da un secondo attentato. Michael, poi, scavalcando l'irruento fratello Sonny e Tom, temporeggiatore, organizza un incontro con Sollozzo e con il corrotto capitano di polizia McCluskey uccidendoli entrambi.
