Episode Notes
This episode marked the only time that the word "Mafia" was ever used in the series.
Henry Silva would return as Little Charlie Sebastino in the Season Two episode Mark of Cain.
This episode was the third one of the series to be filmed but didn't air until the middle of the show's first season. It was postponed because of the Appalachin raid where the FBI nabbed several leading Mafia figures at a conference in upstate New York.
Rico does not appear in this episode.
Location: Chicago

Analysis
This is one of the few episodes with an open ending where the Untouchables do not get their man. J. Carroll Naish is memorable as an aging Mafia don but the episode drags in spots. Middle of the pack Season One entry.
