Play for Today - Gangsters Part 1 of 12

Original 1975 "Play for Today" Gangsters by Phillip Martin.
Set and filmed in Birmingham.

Birmingham is a melting pot of races and every community has a stake in the city's underworld. When John Kline is released from prison after serving a sentence for murder, he becomes the unwilling catalyst in a gang war.

Please note that this play contains material some people may find offensive as it was written before "Political correctness" was thought of.
