Handlung
Die Zeiten ändern sich. Diese Information scheint jedoch noch nicht zu Nick Scanlon, einem gewaltbereiten Gangster der alten Schule, durchgedrungen zu sein. Er kämpft nach wie vor mit den Gepflogenheiten der Straße um die Vorherrschaft in seiner Stadt. Feinde lauern für ihn dabei gleich auf beiden Seiten des Gesetzes. Zum einen in Form des jüngst in die Stadt gezogenen Gangstersyndikats, welches nicht viel von Scanlons rauen Methoden hält. Zum anderen in Gestalt des ehrenhaften Polizei-Captains McQuigg, welcher mit aller Macht versucht, die Straßen seines Viertels sauber zu halten. Zwischen beiden Männern entbrennt ein persönliches Kräftemessen, welches nur tödlich enden kann…
