With the end of Prohibition, gangsters have now focused on the drug trade. A New York-based syndicate known as the Big Six, long established in the illegal drug business, visits drug distributor Louis 'The Bear' Madikoff in Chicago, who has had his recent shipments to Lucky Luciano in New York picked off by Eliot Ness and his agents. Madikoff is convinced that fellow Chicago drug dealer Mike Pavanos is responsible for feeding Ness information, so he sets out to even the score. It turns out that Madikoff's son Danny is dating Pavano's daughter Francie; the fathers' blind hatred of each other leads to tragedy.
