Film Synopsis

A gang of young rockers led by Frankie open their own nightclub in a trendy district of town.  Unfortunately for them, the nightclub is directly over the hideout of a notorious hoodlum named Morelli, and he does not share their taste in rock music.  Morelli is busy preparing the heist of the century - the theft of a priceless jewelled tiara - so he doesn't take kindly to all the noises that permeate his ceiling at all hours of the day and night.  The consummate killjoy, the gangster uses every means at his disposal in his increasingly desperate attempts to drive away the unwelcome noisemakers above him.  His efforts are finally frustrated by an old enemy of his, who turns up unexpectedly and offers to protect the youngsters from the mean-spirited Morelli...
