And it's terrific fun!The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight is the story of Papa Baccala, a Brooklyn Mafia boss, and Kid Sally Palumbo, a wouldbe capo who 'couldn't run a gas station at a profit even if he stole the customers' cars'. There's also Kid Sally's grandmother, who will go to extravagant lengths to see her boy make his mark. A love interest? Sure. Kid Sally's sister tumbles for an artistic type who rides a bicycle and has recently arrived from Calabria...The high adventure begins with a sixday bike race that is only partly responsible for a rash of obituary notices reading: 'Died. Suddenly'. Eventually it all gets worked out in fine Sicilian fashion and, in the end, everybody gets his, in a manner of speaking.
