Plot
The Rico brothers are mobsters in the employ of a syndicate head, Sid Kubick (Larry Gates).
Eddie Rico (Richard Conte) has given up crime, but the other Ricos (James Darren and Paul Picerni) have not. This causes a rift in the family. Eddie gets word that his brothers have been marked for murder. He tries to warn them, yet what Eddie does not know, at least until the last moments of the film, is that Kubick is the man who has ordered the Rico boys murdered.
