Everything happened in the 1920s during the 'dry law'. Two men came to the restaurant 'Henry's Lunch-Room'. The were like twins wearing the same clothes. Their names were Max and Al. They were hitmen. The two bandits ordered some food. After dinner, one bandit suddenly took the cook and the restaurant visitor Nick into the kitchen and tied them up. And his partner Max told everything to George, the owner of the restaurant. The hitmen were hired to kill Ole Andreson, the Swedish boxer. The bandits had information that Ole was to come to the restaurant soon. They stayed to wait for him. But the boxer didn't come. The bandits left. George sent Nick to warn Andreson about the danger. Nick told Andreson everything, but the boxer didn't react. He only said that he was tired of running away.
