Synopsis: Don Vito Corleone is the head of a New York Mafia "family". Problems arise when a gangster supported by another Mafia family, Lettieri, announces his intentions to start selling drugs all over New York. Don Vito hates the idea of drugs, and he is quite happy with the gambling/protection etc. that make him money, so an attempt is made on his life. Lettieri then kidnaps one of Don Vito's advisors, and tries to make him force Don Vito's son to agree to sell drugs, but the plan goes wrong when Lettieri finds out that Don Vito is still alive.
