Meek lingerie salesman Johnny Dill escapes the mire of the Great Depression in seedy speakeasies. Night after night, lonesome Dill grows frustrated watching thriIl-seeking, high society dames worship Iow-Iife, bootlegging gangsters.
lnspired by the popular movie PubIic Enemy No. 2, DiII pretends to be a tough guy to get attention from the Iadies. A curvy, champagne-besotted fIoozy swoons as DiIl sneers at the waiters and is surIy to the bartender. During his rash fit of posturing, DiII slaps Big Nick Maronie - PubIic Enemy No. 21!
So begins an uproarious mob feud between crime boss Maronie and Dill. Johnny's accident-prone nature combined with his uncanny abiIity to bluff his way into and out of danger Iands him in the middle of an underworld war. When Big Nick is murdered, the press attribute the sIaying to Johnny and christen him "KiIIer DiII."
