Harry provides a skeleton for Moe and they write a suicide note before turning on the gas and setting fire to the curtains. Moe is thrilled, although he is so shocked that he is almost hanged anyway until Harry intervenes. He quickly realizes that it is actually Harry, who arranged the whole thing with DiLea. Before doing so, sees a vision of Harry at the foot of the stairs. Moe returns to his house and prepares to hang himself. He is spotted by the huge Acavano (who is eating a sandwich during the burial service) and Castelo resolves to kill Moe after the service. Harry is pronounced dead and Moe flees.īack in Newark, Moe hides out of sight at Harry's funeral. After a chase through the hotel casino, Moe catches up to Harry and accidentally shoots him. Harry luckily spies Castelo's hitmen and decides to stay behind and gamble the money. As he and Moe leave the hotel, their limo is being driven by Acavano, after DiLea appears to double-cross the two.
Harry tries to get DiLea to sort things out with Castelo. Grandma Valentini, however, is able to give Harry the money he owes. They find only Uncle Mike's ashes, leading to Moe leaving in disgust. After using Acavano's credit cards to pay for a luxury stay in a hotel owned by their old friend Bobby DiLea, the two go to Uncle Mike's house to ask for help. Unaware that each has made a deal and frightened following the murder of Harry's cousin Marco, they steal Acavano's Cadillac and travel to Atlantic City to see Harry's uncle Mike, a retired mobster who started Castelo in the crime business. After a night of torture, both are forced to agree to kill each other.
However, this time Castelo had fixed the race, meaning that Harry and Moe now owe their boss $250,000. Valentini changes horses at the last minute because his boss usually bets on the wrong one. They accompany Frank "The Fixer" Acavano, one of Castelo's top men and a violent, heavyset psychopath, to Meadowlands Racetrack to place a bet on Castelo's behalf. However, they get little to no respect from their boss or his subordinates, who frequently ridicule them. Making a living by doing Castelo's lowest jobs (such as looking after his goldfish, testing out bullet-proof jackets, or checking the boss's car for bombs) the two men dream of opening the world's first Jewish-Italian delicatessen.
Italian American Harry Valentini and his Jewish friend and next-door neighbor Moe Dickstein occupy the bottom rung of Newark Mafia boss Anthony Castelo's gang.
