Der Mafiaboss Big Jim wird auf seiner Geburtstagsfeier im Auftrag des korrupten Sheriff Glick ermordet. Guy Gisborne reißt daraufhin die Macht in Chicago an sich; Robbo, Ziehsohn von Big Jim, ist der einzige, der sich ihm verweigert. Gemeinsam mit seinen Freunden versucht er, sich im Norden Chicagos seine kleine Gangsterenklave gegen die Übermacht von Guy Gisborne zu erhalten.
In prohibition-era Chicago, the corrupt sheriff and Guy Gisborne, a south-side racketeer, knock off the boss Big Jim. Everyone falls in line behind Guy except Robbo, who controls the north side. Although he's out-gunned, Robbo wants to keep his own territory. A pool-playing dude from Indiana and the director of a boys' orphanage join forces with Robbo; and, when he gives some money to the orphanage, he becomes the toast of the town as a hood like Robin Hood. Meanwhile, Guy schemes to get rid of Robbo, and Big Jim's heretofore unknown daughter Marian appears and goes from man to man trying to find an ally in her quest to run the whole show. Can Robbo hold things together?
