Synopsis
Every three years, the five leading gangs elect a representative to stand for election to be the Mobfather of the underworld. Each of the candidates has his strengths and his weaknesses, and there is understandably a decided lack of trust amongst the gangs. Each fighting for his gang's own vested interests. The Mobfather looks to two of his lieutenants to take over for him when he learns he is dying. In the end the two chosen candidates, Chuck and Wulf, killed each other in a gang fight. The movie ends with Chuck narrating how the Mobfather died.
