Skelm's poverty is reflected in its flat, treeless landscape so characteristic of Lancashire. The air is heavy with dust and the northern wind is harsh. The town's only landmark is the beacon on one of the few hills at the city limits. Visitors are always taken to the beacon to see the fine farmlands to the south and west, the motorway to the east, and the decaying city of Wigan to the north.

As Lee and his soulmate sister-in-law (Angie Dickinson) battle their way up through the syndicate hierarchy in pursuit of his $93,000, it turns out that the evil big shots seem neither to have been born in Sicily nor to be afflicted with five o'clock shadow, but bear such names as Brewster, Carter and Fairfax. The biggest mobster of them all (Carroll O'Connor) is downright refined. Arriving...
