That night, Luca breaks into Scherino's house, but gets spotted and severely beaten up by Scherino's henchmen. Despite his wife Adele's (Ivana Monti) pleas, Luca goes after the prime suspect: Scherino. After his brother's funeral, conducted on the gang's speedboats in the Bay of Naples, with the police surveying them, Luca vows revenge. But on the way, they are stopped at a fake police roadblock where the assassins dressed as policemen trick Mickey into getting out of the car and machine-gun him to death over and over again (a homage to Sonny Corleone's death scene in The Godfather), while Luca barely escapes injury by hiding on the floor of the car.Īfterwards, Perlante suggests that Luca leave town for a few days, but he refuses. After a nighttime fire at Mickey's racing stables kills a valued racehorse, he and Luca drive over to inspect the damage. Lucia and Mickey take their accusations to their boss Perlante (Saverio Marconi) a sleazy playboy with numerous Mafia connections, who agrees to look into it.

The film's story was changed to include additional scenes of violence to better pace the plot. The film is set in Naples, where Luca Di Angelo ( Fabio Testi) and his brother Michele use speedboats to smuggle cigarettes, and find themselves between two contraband bosses after they lose a load of cigarettes.
