Summary After mob hit-man Frankie Gruder kills a warehouse guard -- and is almost nabbed by Ness and his men in the process -- he turns to his old friend Julius Vernon to get him out of it. Vernon conspires with Willie Willinsky, who knows practically every crook in town, to find someone to plead guilty to the murder. The fraud works so well that Vernon suggests the three of them form an employment agency of sorts. Anyone who wants a crime committed need only tell them what they want done. Vernon will devise the scheme, Willinsky will find the men to make it happen and Gruder will provide the muscle. They decide that they also need a figurehead to take the rap if they get caught so they focus on recruiting Big Joe Holvak, who has just been released from prison after serving a 10 year sentence. Holvak doesn't realize what he's gotten himself into nor can he accept that time has passed him by.
