Output (English): The film starts out in live action, introducing the protagonist Michael Corleone, a 22yearold virgin inaccurately referred to as 24 in the movies trailer playing pinball in New York City. The scene then transitions into animation. New York has a diseased, rotten, tough, and violent atmosphere. Michaels Italian father, Angelo Angie Corleone, is a struggling mafioso who frequently cheats on Michaels Jewish mother, Ida. The couple constantly bicker and try to kill each other. Michael ambles through a catalog of freaks, greasers, and dopers. Unemployed, he dabbles with cartoons, artistically feeding off the grubbiness of his environment. He regularly hangs out at a local bar where he gets free drinks from the female black bartender, Carole, in exchange for sketches of the somewhat annoying Shorty, Caroles violent, legless bouncer devotee. One of the regular customers at the bar named Snowflake, a nymphomaniac transvestite, gets beaten up by a tough drunk hardhat who has only just realized that Snowflake is a man in drag and not a beautiful woman. Snowflake loves it, but the drunk causes property damage. Shorty throws the drunk out and the bars white manager abusively confronts Carole over this. Fed up with her manager, Carole quits. Shorty offers to let Carole stay at his place, but not wanting to get involved with him, Carole tells Shorty that shes staying with Michael, and that theyve been secretly tight for a long time. Michael is turned on by her nononsense attitude and strong sense of selfreliance. This relationship also arouses his fathers racist fury, as well as the jealousy of Shorty. But Rosa comes over and rapes Michael while Angie slaps Ida in the face with a gun. Michael and Carole decide to move out of Michaels parents house and try to earn enough money to move to California, in order to avoid Shorty. Michael gets a chance to pitch a comic strip idea to an old executive lying on his death bed, who seems enthusiastic enough to listen to the idea. Michaels story is too much for the mogul and he dies during the pitch. Meanwhile, Carole tries to work as a taxi dancer. Michael, acting as her manager, tries to pass her off as the fourth Andrews Sister cause she was black, they kept her in the background. A quick flash of her panties gives an old man a heart attack, and Carole gets fired. Meanwhile, Angie tries to use his Mafia connections to put a murder contract out on his son for disgracing the family by dating a black woman. The Godfather refuses to do this, because the hit is personal, not business. However, Shorty eventually meets up with Angie, and agrees to do the contract. Michael and Carole turn to crime as a means of getting by, with Carole taking the role of a prostitute. Carole flirts with a sleazy businessman and brings him to a hotel room, where Michael beats him to death with a lead pipe. The two walk out into a pinball background with the dead mans cash. Just then, Shorty shows up and shoots Michael in the head with a gun that Angie gave him to finish the job before Ida chases him; the bullet is seen going through Michaels skull in slow motion. Many of the movies characters run around in a circle and a kaleidoscope of shocking images and horrifying events proceeds before reverting to the live action story. The real Michael destroys a pinball machine after it tilts and walks out onto the street, bumps into the real Carole, and follows her into a park. The two are seen briefly arguing before they finally take each others hands and begin dancing in the park.
