Plot

Jack Thomas has grown up in the belief that he was an orphan. His guardian tells him that he has an elder brother (Frank Tomasulo) and a dying father. They are both in the liquor business prohibition era.

On his deathbed the father gives Jack an emerald necklace. Jack gives it to his fiancé. It turns out that the necklace was stolen. Frank does not want his father's name to be put in the dirt, so he forces his kid brother to admit that he stole the necklace. So he does. His fiancée Marjorie Channing breaks off the engagement and travels to England. Jack decides to join the family business. He kills the member of a rival mob, and its leader wants revenge by killing Jack.

Cast
gollark: Apparently whoever wrote the specifications for what people learn in "computer science" thought it was important that people know about this, and for consistency or something they designed their own assembly language (which does not actually run on anything).
gollark: (technically a family of them, but whatever)
gollark: Assembly is basically a very low-level language which directly compiles to machine code, which is what the CPU hardware runs.
gollark: The assembly language is actually reasonable and vaguely ARM-like.
gollark: The spec, I mean. I don't think we managed to implement that because it makes no sense.
