Plot Overview

A small-time hood from Chicago arrives in Las Vegas with a Chicago mob leader on his trail, determined to kill him. Torello and his men tail the man's wife, who leads them to the young crook, and they hold him in protective custody. Maggio, the Chicago mobster, turns to Luca for help, but he tells the out-of-towner that HE runs things there, and he'll take care of things, which doesn't sit well with the visiting mobster, who's not only out to take out the younger crook, but also to retrieve $2,000,000 that was stolen from the Chicago mob.
