The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui reminds the audience of Hitler and his henchmen on one hand while telling a story of the Chicago crime lords on the other. The Cauliflower Trust in Chicago is in trouble and they turn to mob boss Arturo Ui for help. Arturo Ui’s activities include "accidental" fires and a St. Valentine's Day massacre.
