Robert Desiderio has been keeping a big secret from wife Ann Jillian. When their
son is snatched off the street Jillian learns that her husband is the son of Mafia Don Charlton Heston and this is a part of a new war that's getting going between
the clans.
As we learned from Richard Castellano in The Godfather there's always a lot of
bloodletting every decade or so. It's to clear the air. This sounds like one of those type occasions.
In any event Jillian and Desiderio are taken to the Corleone like compound of
Heston and spend the rest of the film there. The life of a Mafia princess even
by marriage is tempting, but Jillian just wants her chikld back.
God only knows why Heston chose this project. Nothing about him whatsoever
suggests a Mafia Don. He declares war on the opposition like he was Moses
laying God's word. Bad casting, bad writing, and bad directing.
Not one of Charlton Heston's better screen roles.
