Three black hoods who are down on their luck knock over a numbers bank in Harlem, getting away with $300,000 and killing a couple of cops and a gaggle of gangsters.

We are walking down Broadway from Columbia's 116th Street --Checkpoint Charlie, where you pass in and out the campus through credentials check.
