Vito Corleone, 65, rules Chicago. Months of bloodshed be-tween rival families are over, and no one challenges the rule of the Corleone anymore.
Alcohol, gambling, pawn shops and whorehouses all pay their "taxes" to the family in exchange for protection. The influence of the Corleone gradually spreads into the State itself. Police chiefs, judges and tax inspectors are appointed on the familys recommendation. Important political posts, Including high-ranking officials, and even the Governor himself, establish mu-tually satisfactory relationships with the family. Election cam-paigners receive donations beyond their wildest dreams, and the influence of the mafia spreads into all areas of public life.
So now Don Vito has everything he wants. Except an Ameri-can wife. And he would like one. Blonde, well-built, and with blue eyes.
Liz, 21, Is Judge Galways youngest daughter. Shes been chosen by "II Commendatore" to fill the vacant post of Vito Corleones American wife. Liz is disgusted at the idea of mar-rying a Corleone, but she has little choice. If she does not agree to the marriage, II Commendatore will report her to the police, presenting false evidence that will result in her fathers immediate arrest and subsequent execution in the electric chair.
