Mickey Rooney, who just died recently (2014), plays a big time crime boss. Unfortunately, there seems to be a big price on his head. At the beginning, he barely escapes with his life. He has a doctor on the payroll who tells him that he has a bad heart and the bullet that hit him barely missed a main artery. It is recommended that he make a decision about his future. The doctor tells him that he can live a long life and be protected from his assailants if he turns himself and his property to a guy, played by Raymond Massey. When Rooney get there we know he is doomed, even though he tries to negotiate. Massey's character is richer than rich. While Rooney is discussing his terms, the man tells him that if he waits a week, he will probably not survive. I won't spoil the ending but assure you that when all options are taken away and the character loses his ability to at least confront his fate, it fizzles. This one fizzles.
