In the prologue, gangster Angelo 'Snaps' Provolone makes a solemn promise to his dying father to leave behind the life of crime. This vow sets the stage for Snaps's quest for a legitimate career, driven by a desire to honor his father’s memory.

A month after promising to go straight, Snaps wakes up in his lavish mansion, ready for an important day. He has scheduled a crucial meeting with bankers to discuss a sizable donation that could secure him a spot on the board of trustees.

Snaps’s eager accountant, Anthony Rossano, arrives at the mansion and surprises Snaps with a request for a 250% raise. Snaps's shock intensifies when he learns that Anthony is in love with his daughter, Lisa, arousing his protective instincts.

Lisa, spoiled and desperate for independence, devises a plot to convince her parents that she is pregnant. This scheme leads Snaps to mistakenly believe Anthony is the father, intensifying his conflict with his daughter's choices.

In a surprising twist, Lisa reveals that the real father of her alleged baby is Oscar, the former chauffeur. This revelation deepens the complications, as Snaps grapples with the romantic entanglements surrounding his daughter.

Unbeknownst to Anthony, the woman he loves, Theresa, is not actually Snaps's daughter. In a cunning move, Snaps persuades Anthony to marry Lisa, who appears to need a husband while being particularly unhappy about the arrangement.

Police lieutenant Toomey is suspicious of Snaps and is keeping an eye on his mansion, believing Snaps is involved in collusion with mobsters. This tension juxtaposes with the chaotic family dynamics occurring inside.

Rival mobster Vendetti, thinking Snaps is in trouble, strategizes an ambush on Snaps’s meeting with the bankers. Unbeknownst to him, his plan will coincide with Toomey's raid, leading to an unexpected confrontation.

While Snaps has a nostalgic reunion with his former flame, the new maid Roxie, it is revealed that Theresa is Roxie's daughter. This new layer of complexity adds a familial twist to the already tangled love stories.

Just as the anticipated meeting with the bankers is about to commence, police officers arrive unexpectedly, catching Toomey and snaring Vendetti's armed henchmen outside in a comedic chaos. Snaps's legitimate aspirations seem momentarily thwarted.

Faced with the failure of his legitimate banking aspirations and the tumult of his family life, Snaps decides to revert to his old criminal ways. This choice underscores the conflicting allegiances he navigates throughout the story.

The film reaches its climax with a double wedding for Lisa and Theresa. Just as the ceremony begins, Oscar interrupts, objecting to the marriage, but is quickly handled by Snaps’s men, allowing the laughter of the event to continue.

Throughout the film, three leather bags exchanged between various characters create comedic confusion. Filled with cash, jewelry, and personal items, the bags embody the film's humor as Toomey investigates their contents, mistakenly thinking they're drugs.

During the police raid, it is humorously revealed that the maid has ended up with the valuable jewels and cash, while Snaps is left with the underwear. This comedic twist highlights the absurdity of Snaps's situation, leaving him both frustrated and relieved.

As the film concludes with the joyous double wedding, it remains ambiguous whether Snaps will ever reclaim his lost valuables. This open-ended conclusion leaves audiences questioning the future of both Snaps's personal and criminal pursuits.
