A secretive cadre of crime - The BIack Hand - has tightened its grip on New York City's LittIe ltaIy of the earIy 1900s. Merchants are threatened, some horribIy beaten. Citizens cover in fear rather than testify about crimes they've witnessed. And everyone dreads the extortion notes that say Pay or Die. But police Iieutenant Joe Petrosino is determined to end the spree of terror. He sets up a special squad of investigators, systematicalIy attempts to root out the criminaIs and makes a discovery he never expected: The Black Hand is directIy tied to the Mafia. Ernest Borgnine plays Petrosino in this hard-hitting, fact-based crime saga directed by Richard WiIson, who created a stir the prior year with the gangster saga Al Capone (starring Rod Steiger). |
