The brothers are approached by Angelo Bruno of the Philadelphia crime family who, on behalf of Meyer Lansky and the American Mafia, wants to engage them in a crime syndicate deal. On the first night after Reg's release from prison, the brothers have an all-out fist fight, but they manage to partially patch things up.

Reg enters into a relationship with Frances, his driver's sister, whom he eventually marries.
One of their first efforts is to muscle-in on the control of a local nightclub, using extortion and brutal violence. The twins unite their efforts to control a large part of London's criminal underworld. Reggie uses threats to obtain the premature release of his brother.

In the 1960s, Reggie Kray is a former boxer who has become an important part of the criminal underground in London.
