Remake of the film, "A Slight Case of Murder"
The film begins the day Prohibition ends. The good times for Marco (Crawford) and his gang of bootleggers is over--as cheaper and MUCH better booze is now available everywhere. So, Marco decides to disband the gang and retire. After a time, he decides to re-open his brewery--legitimately this time. The problem is, his beer totally sucks and the only reason folks bought it was because his gang forced them to buy it and better stuff wasn't available. Marco is in trouble--and about to walk into more when he takes a little vacation.
There's been a huge holdup and an unrelated gang is hanging out in the mansion where Marco and his pals are headed for their vacation. To make things worse, one of the gang members ends up killing his partners...
Prohibition's over and bombastic bootlegger Remy Marko is heading for the straight-and-narrow, the up-and-up, the strictly legit. But in the new booze-friendly legit world, the beer baron's brew is a big bust - and all his troubles with creditors, coppers, a fugitive mobster carrying stolen loot, a marriage-minded daughter, a rascally orphan and four unwanted corpses are coming to a frantic, foaming head during a wild-and-woolly weekend at his Saratoga Springs mansion.
