When the show begins, Mr. Yang has just brought in a shipment of over a hundred pounds of heroin for Frank Nitti. And, as usual, Yang finds a way to bring the drugs past US Customs. For much of the beginning of the episode Ness is tracking down the path the drugs took and what sort of shipping methods they used.
At the same time, one of the mob bigwigs, Larry Bass (Barry Morse) is putting into effect a completely insane scheme....to tunnel into the bank vault holding Nitti's heroin in order to steal it!! His partner Whitey Gross (Philip Pine) is instrumental in the deal...but everyone else seems quite expendable. Is there any way he can get away with this without Nitti having him killed or Ness throwing him into prison?
This is a pretty good episode...especially the ending where Nitti tries to figure out WHO is the leak. Well worth seeing and pretty exciting stuff.
