McCormick's Bar and Grill

McCormicks Vater Sonny hat beim Spiel eine heruntergekommene Bar gewonnen. Da er selbst damit nichts anfangen kann, möchte er sie seinem Sohn schenken. McCormick und Richter Hardcastle sind begeistert: Sie wollen das Lokal renovieren und wittern das große Geschäft. Doch sie haben die Rechnung ohne den Wirt gemacht: In Wirklichkeit gehört die Bar einem Gangster, der sie als Stützpunkt für seine verbrecherischen Coups benützt - und dem die neuen "Besitzer" gar nicht gefallen.

After winning a Los Angeles area bar in a poker game, Sonny Daye, Mark's barely seen father, decides to run it with his son. With some financial help from the judge, Mark and his father prepare to reopen the bar as "McCormick's Bar and Grill". Meanwhile, Teddy Peters, the man who lost the bar to Sonny, is ordered to recover the bar by Doyle Madison, a reputed mobster. Despite an excessive cash offer from Teddy, Sonny, having given the bar to Mark, refuses to sell back the bar. Not willing to accept no for an answer, Teddy has his men rough up Sonny. After Teddy is killed in a drive-by shooting, Hardcastle realizes that there is more to the bar than meets the eye. Searching the bar, they discover that the mob has been burying bodies on the premises. Hoping to tie the bar back to Doyle, Hardcastle has Sonny arrange a meeting with the mobster. Taking the bait, Doyle makes a move to regain the bar. With the help of a bar full of police officers, Hardcastle and McCormick arrest Doyle and his men. Afterwards, the police impound the bar as evidence and Sonny, Hardcastle and McCormick are forced out of the restaurant business.
