Red Fortunato's Starlight Club in Queens is back, still teeming
with mobsters and their "business" each night. Trenchie, Tarzan and
Moose have returned. The Genovese family and others hang out amidst
the grandeur of Red's renovated baby - the Grand Ballroom. Columbia
Pictures studio head, Larry Bernstein, is being blackmailed. "He
knew that once any money had been exchanged, that this would not
prevent any future demands. These people were nuts and nuts meant
dangerous. There was no one in Hollywood he could trust. This was a
gossip columnist's dream scoop" that could ruin the studio. Big Red
eagerly offers assistance, on his terms, with a caveat - a piece of
Hollywood, and Swifty, the son he never had, is his ticket in the
boxing ring and in glamour city. "Red was what some in the
neighborhood called a 'benevolent dictator.' His neighbors loved
him and his enemies knew he was the boss of a crime family that
numbered a thousand men or more. It was just a given that no crime
would take place in Red's territory. The outcome was a reprisal
called 'the wrath of the Red Head'." Too bad no one told the power
hungry Detroit capo. He violated the "rules." The phone was
reminiscent of the red phone that led right to the White House. The
council's decision would stand. "The chief tapped the fingers of
both hands twice. That was the signal" to Red that it was okay to
proceed with justice - mob style. "The car moved slowly ahead until
it reached a huge yellow machine. It was the car crusher. Reilly
and his men instantly knew their fate. There were whimpers from
inside the car, grown men pleading, pleading for their lives,
begging for mercy."
