Plot
Broderick plays Clark Kellogg, a country innocent newly arrived in New York to study film at university. Through the offices of hustling, thieving Vic (Kirby) he is employed as a "delivery boy" by Mafioso Carmine Sabatim (Brando). What he finds himself delivering - live endangered animals - lands him in a bizarre "sting", caught between the paternal gangster, FBI agents and outraged wildlife conservationists.
