After an emotional rendition of 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow' number one gangster, Big Jim, is shot dead at his own birthday party, and Guy Gisborne (Peter Falk) takes over the mob
Robbo (Frank Sinatra), a rival gangster, warns Gisborne to stay out of the North Side John (Dean Martin), a minor hood from Indiana, joins Robbo's gang just before Robbo and Gisborne destroy each other's nightclubs Robbo rebuilds, outfitting his new gambling hall so that it becomes a new little modern casino at the touch of a button
Marian (Barbara Rush), Big Jim's daughter, gives Robbo $50 grand to kill her father's murderers, but he orders Will (Sammy Davis, Jr.), his aide, to donate the money to an orphanage Allan A. Dale (Bing Crosby), who runs the institution, crowns Robbo as a modern-day Robin Hood
The action takes place in the gangland Chicago of 1928 instead of Sherwood Forest Amusing ideas abounded The best being a brief appearance by Edward G. Robinson as the chief hood who is shot by the mob just few seconds in the film
Don't miss the formidable dance number "Style" performed and sung by Sinatra, Martin, and Crosby
