Three crooks - all with different specialties - for an alliance, a new "company" as they call it, to take over a big area. That's a common theme in these Untouchables episodes: crooks getting greedy and wanting a bigger piece of the pie, even if in interferes with the big boys (like "Frank Nitti" or the jailed-but still influential "Al Capone."
"Julius Vernon" (Hershel Bernardi), "Willie Willinsky" (Robert Emhardt) and "Frankie Gruder" (Don Gordon) form the trio. Gordon plays the crude tough-guy hit-man; Bernardi, a bookkeeper- type guy who knows the right people and the other is a semi-boss (played by Emhardt) who has clout. What they need, though, is a fall guy, someone who will take the heat if the coppers nab them. They find one in "Big Joe Holvak" (Jay C. Flippen, who is great in here.) Their business is committing crimes and anyone who wants something done need to just contact them and, for a price, it's a done deal.
Things are rolling along fine but you know with Elliot Ness and Untouchables starting to follow you around, eventually your "business" will be in trouble! This was a good guest cast, led by Flippen, who doesn't appear until over halfway through, but is memorable when he does show up.
