Wealthy gentleman Jack Thomas is engaged to Marjorie Channing, whom he plans to marry in one month. While planning his wedding and a European honeymoon, Jack is told by Mario, his guardian and financial adviser, that his name is really Giacomo Tomasulo and that he is not really an orphan. Mario also informs him that his father is on his deathbed and wants to see him. When Jack meets Frank Tomasulo, a brother he did not know that he had, at the Hotel Ritzi in Jersey City, he soon learns that his hard-boiled brother is a racketeer in the liquor-running business. Jack also realizes that Frank expects him to shed his high society ways and join the mob once his father dies. Jack eventually succumbs to his brother's pressure to join the mob, but insists that his fiancée be kept ignorant of his involvement. When Marjorie becomes entangled in a Tomasulo jewel robbery, however, she is prevented from leaving her hotel room and learns the truth about the family. (Verleiher-Text)
