Lorsque le filleul du seigneur du crime de San Francisco demande la permission de quitter "l'entreprise", Don Antonio accepte, mais à contrecœur. Un tel comportement de la part de l'un ou de l'autre est une violation du code et une guerre de foule sanglante éclate. Ce n'est que grâce au solide soutien de ses relations familiales en Sicile que Don Antonio peut survivre à la mêlée et s'imposer.
