Baby Face Morgan

In a wartime America where the nation’s focus is pulled toward distant battlefields, the underworld that once ruled the streets is finding its power waning. The old‑guard gangsters gather in secret, uneasy about a future that seems to belong to a new generation of influence. The city itself hums with a mixture of anxiety and opportunity, its neon‑lit avenues offering both refuge and a stage for anyone daring enough to claim the spotlight.

Enter Doc Rogers, a loyal lieutenant to the slain crime lord Big Mike Morgan. With the mob’s leader gone, Rogers sees a chance to resurrect the organization by uniting its fractured factions under a single, compelling symbol. His search leads him to a remote farm where he discovers Edward—a modest delivery boy who has spent his life far from the city’s shadows, unaware of the notorious name that runs in his blood.

Rogers brings the innocent teenager to the heart of the metropolis and appoints him the head of a newly created front called the Acme Protective Agency. Though the firm outwardly appears to be a respectable insurance operation, its true purpose is a clever ruse designed to give the fragmented gangsters the illusion of a powerful leader—Baby Face Morgan—without exposing the boy to the brutal reality of the trade. The juxtaposition of Edward’s wide‑eyed naivety with the formidable reputation attached to his name creates a satirical undercurrent that runs through every interaction in the office, from the bemused henchmen to the eccentric staff who tend to more whimsical pursuits.

As Edward tries to navigate his unexpected role, he is flanked by his cousin Ollie, whose own innocence mirrors his own. Together they become the unwitting faces of a sprawling scheme, their youthful optimism clashing with the hardened expectations of the city’s criminal elite. The film balances sharp wit with a lingering sense of wartime tension, inviting the audience to wonder how far a naïve heir can rise before the weight of a legacy becomes impossible to ignore.
