When he proposes marriage to his girlfriend Gina Vitale, he is shocked to be turned down. Gina later tearfully explains that her father and most of her cousins and uncles are gangsters deeply involved in a Mafia crime family - and she's worried that Michael may be sucked into their world. Michael retorts that he won't let this happen, but barely is the engagement party over than he is unwittingly involved in a money-laundering scam, and soon the FBI are sniffing at his heels.

When a deal goes bad, Gina accidentally shoots dead her gangster cousin. Michael takes the blame, but then finds that Gina's father Franco has been chosen to kill Michael in revenge. Unable to carry out the deed, Franco confesses all to the FBI in return for protection. The FBI set up an elaborate operation in which Michael will be "shot" at the wedding reception and several of the gang implicated.

The operation nearly goes wrong and both Michael and Gina are "shot", but all ends well - sort of.

At one point, Michael is forced to impersonate a gangster and is introduced as "Mickey Blue Eyes" - actually as "Little Big Mickey Blue". Franco attempts unsuccessfully to teach him to speak like a gangster; using expressions like "fugedaboudit".
