Gangs of the Waterfront

A notorious gang leader's life is drastically altered when a sudden car accident sends him to the hospital, leaving his loyal gang members unaware of his situation.

Dutch Malone, a gang leader, suffers a car accident and is hospitalized without his gang's knowledge. The District Attorney recruits a taxidermist named Peter Winkly, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Malone, to impersonate him and lead the gang. As Winkly takes over, only Rita, Malone's girlfriend, suspects something is amiss. Meanwhile, Malone, now aware of the impostor, sets out to confront him.
