Broderick Crawford and his cronies are forced to go legit after the end of prohibition. He plans to make a fortune with his awful beer, but goes into deep debt with the bank. Unable to pay, they show up at his mansion to foreclose. Chaos ensues when a large party of his friends gets mixed up with a suitcase full of cash and 4 dead bodies. Bizarre mixture of comedy, musical and straight gangster drama with some jarring violence. My jaw was agape when Crawford starts singing a love song to his wife!
