Machine Gun Kelly

George "Machine Gun Kelly" Barnes (Charles Bronson) is a Prohibition-era gangster effectively hiding behind his powerful gun. Kelly is meek, self-doubting and gripped with a paralyzing fear of death. But he's goaded toward bigger crimes by his conniving moll, Flo (Susan Cabot), and her desire for fame. After his crony Fandango (Morey Amsterdam) loses an arm in a bank robbery, Kelly is pushed into a grand kidnapping scheme that will lead to his downfall.
