  Episode Notes  
Rusty Miller has to rank as the toughest character in show history. He manages to survive a plane crash, kidnapping, shooting, and a brutal beating from Nitt's hoods.
 
John Kellogg would return a few episodes later in The Maggie Storm Story where he would also appear as a character named Lucky.
 
Location: Chicago
 
  Episode Quotes  
Nitti: A lotta smart operators have tried to buck the organization and failed.
Surigao: There's always a first time.
Nitti: And a last. If I was you I'd remember that.
 
Lucky: I thought farm folks were supposed to be more friendly. Can't count on nothing these days.
 
Urcel: Frank, I think we oughta discuss this quietly.
Nitti: All right, we'll discuss it, and when we're through discussin', we'll hit.
 
Ness: Your men with machine guns, you were just protecting yourselves?
Grayson: Sure, we were just protecting our interests.
 
Nitti: Lucky! They call you Lucky! What is that name--for laughs?
 
Ness: Nitti never could sit in Big Al's chair anyway.
Nitti: Why you......(slugs Ness)
 
Nitti: Surigao? What kinda country we runnin' here? Everytime you turn around, some lousy foreigner's tryin' to muscle in.
 
  Analysis  
This one has the feel of an old-time Saturday Matinee serial. You have plane crashes, kidnappings, gun battles, and three Eliot Ness/Frank Nitti confrontations. Another great episode of a great series.
