Black Hand

Back in NYC from Italy, Johnny Columbo seeks revenge on his father's killers, the Black Hand. Love and friendship with a police officer make him consider lawful alternatives to vengeance. Now grown-up, Johnny Columbo returns to New York from Italy having sworn a vendetta against the Black Hand who killed his father years earlier. Becoming romantically involved with a girl from school and meeting up with an honest cop also fighting the gangs, Columbo starts to wonder if there may be legal ways to defeat them. —Jeremy Perkins {J-26}
