A crime lord fakes poverty to test a mechanic who married him thinking he was broke.
Dante, New York's most feared crime boss, publicly declares bankruptcy and takes a janitor's job earning two thousand monthly after his daughter drives away thirty fortune-hunting stepmothers. The ruse holds until a grease-stained mechanic throws herself in front of a moving car to shield the child. She believes she has wed a struggling working man. In truth, she has married the don himself, setting up a collision between domestic pretense and the empire he never actually left.
