In 1934 Kansas City, the mob runs the dice games, prostitutes, cops and politicians. When a small time hood (Mulroney) gets the bright idea to knock over a buddy of the city’s top gangster, a club owner named Seldom Seen (Belafonte), he crosses the wrong man and finds himself in deeper trouble than he could ever imagine. Now, it’s up to Blondie O’Hara (Leigh), his tough-talking girlfriend, to come to his rescue. Her solution? Kidnap a wealthy presidential advisor’s wife (Miranda Richardson) and swap her for her boyfriend. (official distributor synopsis)
