It is directed by Fable Siegel, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Butler, and follows the rivalry between the titular Lackadaisy and Marigold gangs: two bootlegging groups who are smuggling alcohol during Prohibition.

After finishing his recital, Rocky joins up with his cousin Calvin "Freckle" McMurray and their close friend Ivy Pepper to dig up a coffin loaded with whisky from one of their suppliers.

Just as they load the bottles into their car, they are ambushed by the rival Marigold gang consisting of former Lackadaisy member Mordecai Heller and the Cajun Savoy siblings: Nicodeme (Nico) and Serafine.

Rocky and fellow musician Dorian "Zib" Zibowski, play music while Ivy teaches a dance to Freckle, during which Mitzi reminisces about how thriving the club was in Atlas' time.

In a post-credits scene, Mordecai calls his superior Asa Sweet, and reports his and the Savoys' failure to recover the supply, and that one of their suppliers has crossed them to sell to Lackadaisy.
