Love That Brute background

Love That Brute

In this romantic drama, a charismatic Chicago mobster navigates a delicate dance between his dual lives, using his cunning and charm to win the heart of a virtuous governess while hiding his criminal history and presenting himself as a devoted single father.

Big Ed Hanley, a powerful Chicago racketeer, is bored with his life of wealth and power. He becomes smitten with Ruth Manning, a young woman, and hires her to care for his two children. He also brings in Mamie as a housekeeper and introduces Harry, a mischievous young boy, as his son. However, his rival Pretty Willie sends henchmen to take him out, but Ed's loyal butler Quentin and right-hand man Bugs thwart their plans. Ed's problems escalate as he tries to keep his illicit activities hidden from Ruth, increase his family, and fend off unwanted visitors.
