Baccala, who would rather tie a man to a jukebox and heave him into the ocean, cuts a moronic upstart young hood named Kid Sally Palumbo in on the action in order to pacify Palumbo and his murderous followers. Kid Sally, who "couldn't run a gas station at a profit even if he stole the customers' cars," bungles the operation and then sets out to knock off Baccala and his gang. Caught in the crossfire...
