Local crooner Frank Bishop is the proud owner of a nightclub known as Frank’s Spot, but when he opened it for business, he borrowed money from Sonny Martone, an enforcer for a crime boss named Tony Ferrelli. Bishop was about to have his loan paid off, but even after everything is paid for, the Ferrelli gang insists that he give them ownership of the club by Saturday night, and it’s not just the club they plan to take over-- they plan to take over pretty much every business in all of North Texas, legitimate or not. Bishop, refusing to bend the rules, enlists the Rangers’ help to save his club and put Ferrelli and his gang away for good.

Frank was desperate and signed the contract, and now, the club is doing turn-away business.
