In Harlem, two Italian mobsters meet three black gangsters that work for the kingpin Doc Johnson to collect dirty money from their associates in an apartment building. Out of the blue, the small-time thieves Jim Harris and Joe Logart knock on the door disguised as police officers to steal US$ 300,000.00 from the Mafia. However, they startle when the suitcase with the money falls on the floor and Jim kills the five men with a machine gun. They flee to the runaway car driven by Henry J. Jackson and they kill two policemen. The idealist NYPD Lt. Pope and the violent Capt. Mattelli investigate the case while the Italian Mafia and the black gangsters hunt the killers down. Will Jim Harris and his accomplices be found?
The NYPD investigates the carnage the aftermath of a crime of a yet unknown nature in Harlem. By the body count at one site - three black men, and two white men - plus one black and one white police officer killed in pursuit, the NYPD believes that at the core of the crime is the Italian mafia. Indeed, three black men - Jimmy Harris, Joe Logart and Henry Jackson - the former two masquerading as police officers, the latter the getaway driver, were able to rob the mafias Harlem operation of $300,000, and although they walked into the operation not intending on any violence, the seven dead bodies was the final outcome. As the NYPD investigates the crime and the mafia embarks on getting their money back while showing the crooks in no uncertain terms that they will never be able to get away with it, the conflicts are not relegated to just between the three groups, but also within the NYPD and the mafia in the racially charged environment that is Harlem. The NYPD decides to appoint Lt. William Pope, a black man, to lead the investigation, which does not sit well with Italian-American Capt. Frank Morelli, a thirty-three year veteran of the force and an anti-black bigot. And Doc Johnson, the black lead of organized crime in the neighborhood, has no respect for who the mafia sends to lead the clean up, Nick DSalvio, who Johnson taunts as only having gotten to his position by marrying the boss daughter, while DSalvio in return goes to extremes to prove Johnson wrong.
