Le Crime, c'est notre Business

L’histoire

McClain un gangster afro-américain, revient à Los Angeles après deux ans d'absence. Il retourne habiter chez Elly, son ex-femme et prend contact avec Gladys, une ancienne complice qui lui propose d'organiser un hold-up. Il s'agit de voler la recette d'un grand stade de Los Angeles pendant un match de football. Il ne reste plus qu'à recruter des complices, de préférence des professionnels du crime. Un quatuor, trié sur le volet, est donc engagé. Le jour dit, l'opération se déroule sans anicroche et McClain dépose le butin dans l'appartement de son ex-femme. Peu de temps après, leur voisin, un certain Herb Sutro, fait irruption chez eux en l'absence de McClain et tente de violer Ellie avant de l'abattre. Découvrant par hasard l'argent, il s'en empare et l'emmène chez lui...
