At any rate, by the timely employment of criminal methods, ranging from the well-known bite to a mass snatch of the voting opposition, the hero wins the presidency of the local. Whereupon, in order to make good on his blithe campaign promise of a new union hall, complete with a bar and a bowling alley, he hijacks a crate of watches worth $750,000 and fences them out to big jewelry firms...
