Plot

A career criminal who has been deformed since birth is given a new face by a kindly doctor and paroled from prison. It appears that he has gone straight, but he is really planning his revenge on the man who killed his mentor and sent him to prison.

Johnny Handsome is a deformed gangster who plans a successful robbery with his best friend, Mikey Chalmette, and another couple (Sunny Boid and Rafe Garrett). During the heist, Johnny and Mikey are double-crossed by Sunny and Rafe---Mikey is killed and Johnny sent to prison. While in prison, Johnny is invited to a rehabilitation program, where Dr. Steven Fischer rebuilds his face and helps him get paroled. While going straight, Johnny starts working in a shipyard, where he meets Donna McCarty and starts a romance. Lt. A.Z. Drones is a dour and skeptical New Orleans Police detective who follows the rehabilitation of Johnny. However, Johnny's new life is consumed by the desire of revenge against Sunny and Rafe for double-crossing him and Mikey.
