Chicago Wise Guys 1923

The south side is full of cheap hoodlums and small time racketeers trying to muscle their way into the big game. The syndicate bosses use them as hired muscle. The big guys vacation in Switzerland and the Bahamas. Even their dogs fly first class. You'd never catch one them on the streets getting their hands dirty. They're as clean as the pope's soap. Their street soldiers are the kind of guys that are eventually found in the trunks of cars in airport parking lots or washed up along the river. Just another group of wise guys on the outside looking in--wise guys that never get beyond the front door of a cheap boarding house.
