Resumen

It is for his two infant daughters Connie and Rosie that ex-con Nick Bianco, in society not having given him a break having served his time, that he resorts to crime once again on Christmas Eve in robbing a jewelry store with three associates so that he could buy his daughters Christmas presents. It is for Connie and Rosie that Assistant District Attorney Louis D'Angelo, in prosecuting Nick's case, tries to convince Nick to provide evidence against his not caught associates for a lighter sentence in being able to return home sooner than later. It is for Connie and Rosie that Nick initially decides not to talk to D'Angelo in believing that his associates, hiring lawyer Earl Howser, would be able to get him out in that sooner than later scenario without he having to squeal against anyone. And it is for Connie and Rosie, in changing circumstances, that Nick decides ultimately to provide evidence to D'Angelo about the robbery in addition to be an informant against sociopathic criminal Tommy Udo, who confided much to Nick when they met when they were in sentencing remand together, D'Angelo promising to hide any of Nick's involvement before any trial specifically when it comes to Tommy. But the best laid plans may not always come to pass with Nick having to decide, again under new circumstances, how best to protect his daughters.—Huggo
