The head of the Rubino crime family has died and his son, Michael, can take over if he’ll quit art painting (unmanly). Shakey, a courier, unlucky to be chosen to deliver a valuable painting, lands at JFK. He’s shot at in the taxi and in an NYC diner after delivering the painting. Fortunately, he’s not one of the five bodies remaining nor is a troubled gallery owner and his martial arts friend.
