In 1920s Chicago, Italian immigrant Antonio Camonte acts on the orders of Italian mafioso John Lovo and kills Louis Costillo, the leading crime boss of the city’s South Side. However, Johnny repeatedly warns Tony not to mess with the Irish gangs led by O’Hara, who runs the North Side. She visits his apartment where he shows her his view of an electric billboard advertising Cook’s Tours, which features the slogan which inspires him: The World Is Yours.
