Vincemt "the schemer" Drucci was on of the leaders on the North Side Gang of Chicago: After serving his country in the military, Vincent Drucci at a young age is involved with crime. He begins by robbing telephone coin boxes when he is noticed by the Northsiders. Nicknamed "The Schemer" for his various plans such as how to overthrow the government by killing everyone in command and becoming president of the U.S.
Drucci is a wacky fun gangster, at least to his co-horts. To others, especially rivals he was one tough torpedo to tangle with. One episode has him dressed as a priest on the sidewalk and as a couple walks by Drucci blurts out "You have a nice ass" As soon as they turn around to face the insulting Drucci he blurts out "Not you lady, your fellow!"

One time Dean O'Banion himself participated in the mayhem by pretending to kick the shit out of Drucci whilst in the priest outfit.

Other madcap jokes done by the druccmeister where done to drivers who delivered bootleg booze for the Northsiders. The driver would arrive at Schofield's and park his car out back and then drive off with the Northsider's truck in front for booze pick ups or deliveries. Once in winter time, Drucci went out back of the Flower shop and filled the driver's car full of snow. When the unsuspecting driver came out back to see his car, he was left in total shock. Drucci had shovelled snow inside his car right to the top. The driver was pissed off and Drucci was no where to be seen. When learning of this O'Banion laughed his head off but sympathized with the driver. O'Banion had to pay to have the car cleaned out.

Another joke performed by Drucci was the shoe game. Whenever someone in the gang had a new pair of shoes Drucci would yell "shoes!!!" and tackle the new shoe wearer to the ground while removing the new footwear and throwing it as far as he could. Hymie Weiss fell victim one day on the second floor of Schofield's flower shop. Drucci saw that Weiss had a shiny new pair on so he immediately tackled Weiss to the ground, removing his shoes and throwing them out the open window to the ground below. Coming up the street was a Northside truck driver who saw the foot covering missiles hitting the ground and the word "Shoes!" being yelled out.

Hymie stuck his head out and asked the driver to kindly retrieve the shoes and bring them up. Meanwhile, Weiss was calling Drucci every expletive available. Al Capone Museum
