Robin and the 7 Hoods

During Big Jim Stevens's birthday celebration, he is shot by guests and his ambitious lieutenant Gisborne seizes control of the Chicago underworld. Gisborne imposes protection money on all other gangsters and proclaims 'All for One' as he consolidates power. The event triggers a new, deadly gangland power struggle.

With Jim dead and Gisborne in charge, a full-scale gang war erupts across the city. Robbo begins rebuilding his crew, recruiting Little John, Will, and others to challenge Gisborne's grip. The city becomes a battleground as both sides raid gambling joints and intimidate rivals.

Gisborne secures the loyalty of Sheriff Octavius Glick, who helps him target Robbo's gambling hall. Robbo anticipates trouble and rigs his club to masquerade as a gospel mission for the night. The raid exposes the moral facade but solidifies Gisborne's grip.

Big Jim's educated daughter Marian arrives in Chicago seeking Robbo's help to avenge her father's death, though the sheriff is blamed for the murder. Robbo refuses the plea, and Gisborne eliminates the sheriff, tightening his grip. Marian tries to win Robbo over with dinner and money, then seduction, hoping to recruit him to her side.

Marian offers Robbo $50,000 and tries to buy his alliance, but he refuses the money and rejects her entreaties. She persists by pressing him to join forces to take over the town, but Robbo remains determined. The money she sent to Robbo’s club is finally donated to a boys' orphanage instead.

Allen A. Dale, director of the city orphanage, leaks news of Robbo's supposed generosity to newspapers. The Robbo Foundation is born, funding soup kitchens, clinics, and shelters, and Robbo uses the image to win public support. Robbo and Little John coach Dale on how to maintain the Robin Hood façade.

Robbo reopens his club as a mission to moralize against vice, during which the police raid occurs. Gisborne and the sheriff burst in to find Robbo's men singing gospel and preaching temperance, shocking the authorities and exposing the performative nature of the 'charity' operation. The stunt helps Robbo maintain his public aura.

Gisborne and Potts frame Robbo for Sheriff Glick's murder, and he faces a criminal trial. The jury finds him not guilty, defying the accusations. During the victory, Robbo publicly thanks the city in a green suit as a celebrated 'hero' of Chicago.

Returning to his club, Robbo discovers that the charities have been turned into a counterfeiting operation, with the soup kitchen cans shipping fake bills. Little John moves into Marian's mansion, signaling Marian's ascendancy. Robbo confronts Marian and leaves, unwilling to be a front for her schemes.

Marian rekindles an alliance with Gisborne, but Gisborne proves no match for Robbo and is killed in the confrontation. Robbo consolidates power, while Marian accelerates her vendetta against him. The balance of Chicago's underworld tilts decisively toward Robbo.

Marian counterattacks by framing Robbo for the counterfeiting ring that she and Little John started, with Potts backing her. Robbo and his crew flee the city and are reduced to acting as Santa Clauses to solicit charitable donations.

Marian steps out of a car with her new partner, Alan A. Dale, who discreetly funds the Santas as they ring bells for charity. Robbo and his merry men watch from the sidewalk, resigned to a diminished, comedic status quo as Marian and Dale walk away together.
