Summary:



Angelo "Snaps" Provolone (Sylvester Stallone) made his dying father (Kirk Douglas) a promise on his deathbed: he would leave the world of crime and become an honest businessman. Despite having no expe-
rience in making money in a legal fashion, Snaps sets about to keep his promise. He is faced with numerous problems: henchman who know nothing but crime, the police who are convinced he is hatching a master plan, and Oscar, who has just got his daugther pregnant.
