Plot:
Happily-married bookie Vinnie has been running his operation out of his Brooklyn bar for 30 years. Time change and the boys up the chain want a bigger profit so Vinnie is expendable. He's assigned a hotheaded kid, Tony, the nephew of a local mobster. Vinnie's told to school the lad, use him for collections, and teach him some sense. What Vinnie doesn't know is that once Tony learns the ropes, Vinnie will be out. Tensions mount when Tony goes around Vinnie's paternalistic ways, takes a bet from an unemployed alcoholic, and demands that the loser's wife pay the vig in trade. Is there any way out for Vinnie--with or without his good name?
