Logline: An aging but formidable club owner, Manco Kapak, has been robbed by a masked gunman. Enraged, he sends his half-dozen goons out to find a suspect who is spending lots of cash and is new enough to Los Angeles not to know he was robbing a gangster. Their search leads them to Joe Carver, an innocent but hardly defenseless newcomer who evades capture and sets out to make Kapak wish he'd chosen someone else. Meanwhile, the real culprit and his new girlfriend seem to believe they've found a whole new profession: robbing Manco Kapak.
