The Black Hand at Tony's
A dramatic night in a Lower East Side tenement ends with Tony the Barber’s family unknowing victims of a staged bombing. Detective Birsch and psychologist Dr. Furnivall uncover a clever ruse by Tony’s son Frank, who planned to steal his father's money for an acting career. Frank confesses, revealing a plot to bluff police with a fake bomb and a window escape, while the father guarded the money for his priestly plan.
