Part 6 'Big Ron' Revite
A New York thug is seduced by the power of the Gambino crime family. But when they turn on him, he must choose between being hunted by the Mob or working with the authorities. A crooked policeman turned mob informant whose only motivation is money risks his life to help dismantle the Philadelphia mob. “Big Ron” Previte never had anything to do with the term morality – the criminal was only ever interested in one thing money. His great role models of the 1950s are the mafia godfathers in his hometown of Philadelphia, who drive around in big Cadillacs with big cigars. But it will still be a few years before the American with Sicilian roots will work for the syndicate. Meanwhile, Ronald Previte - very unusual for a gangster - joins the competition and becomes a police officer. But only to get money as easily as possible with corrupt machinations. And this premise runs like a red thread through his criminal life. Because his own advantage is always more important to Big Ron than the centuries-old laws of the Mafia.
