When the owner Pete suffers a stroke, he asks his middle son Denis to take over the family business while he recuperates, which draws ire from Denis' older brother Harry. Youngest son, Eric, is an irresponsible teenage youth who frolics with delinquent activities and has the most trouble dealing with his father's condition. Meanwhile, Denis' best friend Joey is the son of local Mafia under-boss Anthony Coltrera who wants to know the family business, but finds his loyalty to his family and his friendship with Joey in uncertainty when he is forced to collect "protection money" from the DeBeau company. Joey proposes marriage to his girlfriend Joni, despite she coming from a Jewish background knowing that her family will not approve of the engagement. Elsewhere, Denis meets and becomes smitten with Marianne McKinley, an elementary school teacher who does not really find him that interesting. Also, when a burglary happens at the DeBeau warehouse, suspicion falls upon Denis' ex-convict friend Reuben. But the real culprit is Harry who is attempting to feed his gambling habit. See less
