He gets two detectives and together they fix a frame-up on Marisco Napoli, a right-hand man of the Camorra Chief, Basista, who, being a shrewd man, has so far been able to elude the police. They "plant" him by slipping a gun in his pocket, which offense carries a five-year term in New York City. He resists; they beat him up, take him to the station and put him through an eighteen-hour third degree to try and make him "squeal" on the rest. He stands firm, and is helped to do so by the appearance of Gracia, the Lieutenant's daughter. The Camorra hold a meeting and plan the best how to get Marisco free. They decide to grab Gracia, which they proceed to do, and send the Lieutenant a note reading: "We got the girl. If Marisco don't go free she will suffer the consequences." Therefore the father's hands are tied in fear that the Camorra will fulfill their threat. Marisco is in the hospital (from the beating he has received) and reads of Gracia being missing. As she came to his aid in the third degree and brought him flowers in the hospital, Marisco decides to rescue her. He plans carefully and makes his escape. Marisco goes to the Camorra Lodge, presents himself and demands the release of Gracia, but in the meantime the Chief, Basista, has fallen in love with Gracia and refuses to turn her loose. The two fight with stilettos, in accordance with the lodge rules. Marisco wins, goes after Gracia, and as he brings her out, the meeting has divided and a battle royal is fought. Gracia and Marisco get into the upper hall, and the fight swings with them onto a two-story building. A very thrilling fight takes place, the Marisco faction winning. Marisco returns Gracia to the Lieutenant, and of course is placed under arrest, the Lieutenant telling him that he will do everything in his power to get a pardon for him. Marisco curses him and his pardon, and says he will settle with him when he gets out, if the Camorra spares his life. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
