High finance teaches a racketeer new tactics!

ComedyCrime

Former bootlegger Remy Marco has a slight problem with forclosing bankers, a prospective son-in-law, and four hard-to-explain corpses.

VIBE

A charmingly chaotic romp through Prohibition-era Chicago. This film feels like a fast-talking, wise-cracking dive into a world of bootleggers and mistaken identities, where danger and laughter go hand-in-hand.
