Eddie Carbone, his wife Beatrice and his niece Catherine live in Brooklyn. Beatrice's Sicilian cousins come over as illegal immigrants and stay with the Carbones. Catherine is immeadiately attracted to Rodolpho. However, Eddie doesn't want Catherine to be with Rodolpho. This could be seen as simply protective as Eddie is like a father to Catherine. Catherine and Rodolpho end up getting engaged, although Eddie says that Rodolpho just wants to be made an American citizen.
However throughout the play we are given hints that Eddie has unnatural and inappropriate feelings for Catherine. At the end of the play our suspicions are confirmed when Beatrice tells Eddie to his face that he wants Catherine. Eddie then calls Immigration telling them that Rodolpho and his brother Marco (Beatrice's cousins) are there. Marco then gets arrested but Rodolpho doesn't as he is engaged to Catherine. Marco publicly tells the witnesses of his arrest that Eddie was the one who called immigration which is one of the worst things someone could do in that society.
On the day of Catheirne and Rodolpho's wedding Marco is released on bail and comes to beat up, and assumedly kill Eddie.Eddie brings a knife to the fight and eventually Marco turns the knife on Eddie, killing him. Eddie dies in Beatrice's arms, and his last words are "My B.!" showing that he does love Beatrice still.
