'Goose' Gander runs a jazz club...a dry jazz club. Because of this, the mob isn't happy. After all, back in the day, booze (and other vices) were readily available in these clubs. So, to convince the various club owners to play ball, the mob starts playing nasty...and end up killing Gander. His cornet player, Eddie Moon (Robert Duvall) is upset because he loved Goose and he's decided to destroy the mob by doing it from within...by destroying Cagan. He begins having an affair with Cagan's wife and plans on using and destroying her as well...and soon Eddie starts tipping off Ness. Cagan eventually starts to panic, as his bosses insist he find and plug up the hole...or he'll get plugged. What's next?
I didn't love this episode but liked it...however the ironic ending sure helped it. Unusual and interesting and it's nice to see Duvall in an early role...even if it seemed like an odd one for the guy.
