Down and Dirty is down and dirty in a criminal sense. Apart from the continuing depredations of Puppetman and Ti Malice, there is a gang war on. This is between the mafia and an asian group. Bagabond and her friend Rosemary Muldoon, a lawyer with a secret identity as a mafioso leader, become intimately involved with their friend Sewer Jack, the werealligator.

While Yeoman and the aforementioned deal with the gang situation, another Wild Card outbreak happens thanks to Croyd Crenson and one of his new forms. This version of the virus can affect even previous Wild Card victims, so an ace posse must try and stop him without killing him.
