Dante conceals his empire while his daughter vets a mechanic bride.
New York's most feared crime lord Dante publicly declares bankruptcy and trades tailored suits for a janitor's mop, earning two thousand a month to smoke out gold-diggers. His sharp-eyed daughter has already sent thirty women packing, each chasing a fortune that officially no longer exists. The ruse holds until a grease-stained mechanic hurls herself into traffic to shield the girl, then agrees to marry the supposed pauper. She has no idea her new husband still commands the underworld he pretended to leave.
