In this film, Joe Pesci play a tabloid photographer named Leon Bernstein, branding the name the "Great Bernzini", leaving nothing censored. He gets no respect as a photographer as he is quite a sleazy man only in his work for the money rather than the art. In his car is a police scanner built in to inform news of crime, murder, anything similar that will lead to a feature story and picture on a newspaper. From there he to goes to the crime scene of a body before the police comes in and swarm the area. He has no beef with the mob or police and sits on the fence between the two groups. Until now.
