Enredo

A thief arrested for a jewelry heist initially refuses to give up his accomplices, but he changes his mind after his wife dies under mysterious circumstances.

Small-time crook Nick Bianco gets caught in a jewel heist and despite urgings from well-meaning district attorney D'Angelo, refuses to rat on his partners and goes to jail, assured that his wife and children will be taken care of. Learning that his depressed wife has killed herself, Nick informs on his ex-pals and is paroled. Nick remarries, gets a job and begins leading a happy life when he learns one of the men he informed on, psychopathic killer Tommy Udo, has been released from custody and is out for revenge against Nick and his family.—Doug Sederberg <vornoff@sonic.net>

Nick Bianco is caught during a botched jewellery heist. The prosecution offer him a more lenient sentence if he squeals on his accomplices but he doesn't roll over on them. Three years into the sentence an event changes his mind, leading him down a very dangerous path.—grantss

It is for his two infant daughters Connie and Rosie that ex-con Nick Bianco, in society not having given him a break having served his time, that he resorts to crime once again on Christmas Eve in robbing a jewelry store with three associates so that he could buy his daughters Christmas presents. It is for Connie and Rosie that Assistant District Attorney Louis D'Angelo, in prosecuting Nick's case, tries to convince Nick to provide evidence against his not caught associates for a lighter sentence in being able to return home sooner than later. It is for Connie and Rosie that Nick initially decides not to talk to D'Angelo in believing that his associates, hiring lawyer Earl Howser, would be able to get him out in that sooner than later scenario without he having to squeal against anyone. And it is for Connie and Rosie, in changing circumstances, that Nick decides ultimately to provide evidence to D'Angelo about the robbery in addition to be an informant against sociopathic criminal Tommy Udo, who confided much to Nick when they met when they were in sentencing remand together, D'Angelo promising to hide any of Nick's involvement before any trial specifically when it comes to Tommy. But the best laid plans may not always come to pass with Nick having to decide, again under new circumstances, how best to protect his daughters.—Huggo

Nick Bianco is a small-time hoodlum and thief who is shot and arrested after he and three others hold up an exclusive jewelry store. The District Attorney, Louis D'Angelo offers to go easy on him if he'll implicate his fellow thieves but Bianco wont cooperate. After spending about three years in prison, he learns that his wife has committed suicide and that his two little girls are in an orphanage. He seeks out the DA and makes an arrangement to get evidence on a vicious killer, Tommy Udo. When Udo is found not guilty at his trial, Bianco, who has re-married and is now an upstanding citizen, is sure he will come after him.—garykmcd
