Description:
El Gangster tells the story of Tony Wall, an x-gangster who was active during Chicago's prohibition period but has decided he is tired of living on the wrong side of the law. So, after paying his debt to the North American justice system and now desiring peace and tranquility, he moves back to the old country, followed by his x-criminal companions Romo, Rito, Chuck and Maggie. Taking up the mantle to rescue his deceased brother's family, he moves next to his sister-in-law and widow 'Isabel, and two nephews, Carito and Pedro. The hilarity begins when the unreceptive and resentful nephews proceed to make life for Tony and his companions as unpleasant and challenging as possible.
