Story

The Carboni Boys. They haul ice, lay out stiffs and dance with monkeys.

Three Italian-American brothers, living in the slums of 1940's New York City, try to help each other with one's wrestling career using one brother's promotional skills and another brother's con-artist tactics to thwart a sleazy manager.
