Harlem, N.Y.C. (1997)
Der Film spielt in den späten zwanziger und frühen dreißiger Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts und erzählt über den Bandenkrieg zwischen der New Yorker Mafia um Lucky Luciano und Dutch Schultz auf der einen und den Gangstern um Stephanie St. Clair und Bumpy Johnson aus Harlem auf der anderen Seite. Dabei werden auch fiktive Ereignisse gezeigt. Der Kleinganove Bumpy Johnson wird aus dem Gefängnis entlassen. Er steigt in Stephanie St. Clairs Gang, die als Madame St. Clair das Glücksspiel in Harlem kontrolliert, in der Hierarchie schnell auf und wird bald zu ihrer rechten Hand.
