Two years after the murder of youngest brother Chico, at the hands of the three remaining brothers, Grandpa Mangano receives a phone call from one of his sons, Vincenzo, who has been living in Paradise City for decades. He reports that Romano, Angelo and Sonny has been sighted there - And so, Grandpa Mangano dispatches Mario to hunt them down and avenge his brother.
