In the 1920s, gangster Bull Weed's motto is "Nobody helps me -- I help them!" as he flaunts his wealth and generosity. He invests in the life of a charming vagrant, Rolls Royce, and lives large with his moll Feathers. Bull's success is threatened by his rival, Buck Mulligan, and his own weakness for Feathers. As circumstances spiral out of control, Bull will need help from others, but will he accept it, and can Rolls Royce and Feathers still be by his side?
