Handlung
Die beiden Freunde Tom Powers und Matt Doyle kommen schon im Kindesalter mit dem organisierten Verbrechen in Kontakt. Im Auftrag des Kleinganoven Putty Nose klauen sie. Später arbeiten Powers und Doyle für den Gangsterboss Paddy Ryan . Als die Prohibitionszeit einbricht, ergreifen sie die Gunst der Stunde und steigen zu den gefürchtetsten Gangstern der Stadt auf. Nails Nathan ist der Kitt, der dafür sorgt, dass die Bande nicht auseinanderbricht. Er verunglückt tödlich beim Reiten - die Schwächung der Gruppe und ein Straßenkrieg drohen...
