Frankie og Noll er spritsmuglere og makkere. Under en konfrontation med politiet må de splittes for at undgå at blive fanget. Noll slipper væk, men Frankie bliver snuppet og kastet i fængsel. Mange år senere kommer Frankie ud og opsøger øjeblikkeligt Noll for at få sin del af byttet. Her går det op for ham, at Noll har brugt pengene til at stable en fornem natklub på benene, og har han ikke tænkt sig at dele med sin gamle ven.
