A real oddity...and episode with a happy ending!
planktonrules1 March 2016
Jan Sterling plays Francie, a dame who's been around the block and who's had real serious troubles with boyfriends. When the show begins, three of her small-time mob boyfriends have been murdered...and soon #4 begins assuming room temperature. The notion of any sane man wanting to be with her is baffling...but eventually, nice-guy Henny (Mickey Shaughnessy), offers to be, perhaps, boyfriend #5...a deadly proposition, indeed!

The rest of the show concerns a guy who is way too clever for his own good. Phil looks like an unassuming bald, middle-aged guy...not a mobster by any means. Yet he has a desire to be a big man in the organization and has the nerve to steal a shipment of Scotch whiskey from one of the big bosses. Not content with this, he actually intends to use this for an even bigger scheme...to take out this same big boss once and for all. Will he succeed or will he ends up no better than any of Francie's boyfriends so far?!

An exciting episode and as I mention in the summary, it has a rather happy ending for "The Untouchables". Well worth seeing and well acted....though I never could figure out what anyone saw in Francie.

Mickey gets the girl

Warning: Spoilers
This episode of The Untouchables has something I'd never thought I would see and that is Mickey Shaughnessy getting the girl. And what a girl in Jan Sterling. Will wonders never cease?

All this in the middle of a bid for power, a kind of poorly written and haphazard bid for power by a nightclub owner played by Robert H. Harris. He hijacks a large shipment of liquor into the country that was for gangster David J. Stewart and then sets Stewart off in other directions eliminating rivals and traitors.

Sterling and Morris work for Harris, he's just muscle at his club and she's a come-on girl who keeps losing her men in various gangland endeavors. I guess Shaughnessy becomes the best of what's left.

This is one episode for the books.
