Fishermen, chandlers, shipbuilders, and truckman of the town look upon the bootleg trade as a gift from heaven, but the more respectable residents resent the presence of flashily dressed, hard-faced strangers who frequent the restaurants and put through their liquor deals under the very noses of the local police...
