Le Gangster de Chicago (1940)
Dans la seconde moitié des années 1930, à Chicago, le gangster 'Silky' Kilmount dirige une "respectable" distillerie d'alcool, après avoir trafiqué durant la Prohibition ; son bras droit est 'Doc' Ramsey. Orphelin, il apprend un jour que son père, décédé depuis des années, était un aristocrate anglais établi au Canada. Par suite, il hérite d'un titre de noblesse et des valeurs mobilières et immobilières y attachées. Mais il doit aller en Angleterre pour faire valoir ses droits. Il s'y rend donc, laissant 'Doc' gérer ses affaires, et fait la connaissance de sa parenté, ainsi que de Munsey, son maître-d'hôtel, lequel s'emploie à lui inculquer les rudiments de l'éducation qui sied au nouveau "Comte de Gorley"...
