Drummer for the Mob

Frankie Severino is twenty-three, and a small-time band leader who works the mob-owned club circuit in Pittsburgh. He loves the night life, the sex, and performing, but he's unhappy because he can't find a nice girl with whom to settle down. He can't can't get the mob to trust him completely either. One night, he meets Toni at one of the clubs. Toni is only 17, but that doesn't stop either of them, and soon they fall in love. Frankie wants Toni to marry him. Toni doesn't even want to continue the relationship unless Frankie renounces his mob connections. Unfortunately, Big Julie Passano, the mob boss for whom Frankie works, has no intention of letting Frankie leave. He tells Frankie: "My customers like you, I like you, and you ain't goin nowhere!" Trying to impress Passano, Frankie tells an FBI informant that there is a huge amount of cash moving through one of Passano's clubs. It isn't true, and Frankie knows it, but the FBI stages a raid on the club, finds nothing, and is completely embarrassed. Frankie tells Passano that the raid was his idea, and asks Passano again to release him from the mob. Passano still refuses. When Franike tries to insist, Passano asks: "Frankie, can you swim?" Passano is unmovable, and now, with the FBI is out to get Frankie, someone kidnaps Toni. When Frankie tries to help with her rescue, both he and Toni are caught in a gun battle between opposing mob factions that could leave them both dead!
