Who can a gangster trust when the chips are down? Wealthy gangster Vince Falcone is sent to Federal prison for nine years for income tax evasion. He has paid a lot of money to his criminal lawyer over the years, and just before being sent to prison he paid a hundred thousand dollars to a high society businessman who promised him that he could fix things with the judge. Neither his lawyer nor the high society businessman could keep him from jail, so the next goal is to get out of prison with an early parole. While in prison he starts to brood about these two men . . . and circumstances arrange themselves so that the gangster believes that his lawyer is working to keep him in prison and the society businessman is working to help him get out of jail. Of course, the opposite is true, but our gangster won't discover this until he escapes from prison and goes hunting for revenge. Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn with warm melted butter on it and munch your way to the final gun battle with shots flying through the air . . . and pray tell . . . who will the bullets hit?
