A young man is brought in to run his father's insurance business by his father's right-hand man after he passes away. What he doesn't know is that the business is just a front for his father's real activity, running a protection racket. The father's right-hand man tries to keep the son from knowing what the business really is and the gang from knowing the identity of the new gang leader, so he can truly run things from the background. Problems arise for everyone when the son tries to run the insurance company as a legitimate business.
