Owner, Tony Marino, bar tender Joe Murphy, an under taker named Francis Pasqua, and regular Dan Kriesberg hatch a plan to insure the barfly and then kill him. Over several months they fail to kill him in increasingly outlandish ways. Wood alcohol, poisoned oysters, sandwiches laced with ground glass and carpet tacks, they strip him naked in an alcoholic coma and leave him in a freezing park... they even run him down with a taxi. He comes back through the doors of the bar every time... They finally succeed in gassing him but as they try to make their claims the insurers become suspicious and the gang begins to fight among itself. Tried as the 'Murder Trust' all four men go to the electric chair for their part in the killing of the almost indestructible Mr Malloy.See less
