Plot

Set in the roaring '20s amidst the chaotic jazz clubs of Chicago, gangster Johnny Varona embarks upon a forbidden love affair with Georgia, a beautiful black chanteuse. While racism plays a part in dooming the relationship, the most damning factor is Constanza, Johnny's bloodthirsty boss and future father-in-law, as Johnny is betrothed to his daughter. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
