The Mob imports "inside man" Joey Lassater from New York to construct a Ness-proof brewery on the top floor of a building. Current syndicate inside man Harry Gordon fears that he's being eased out of a job and informs Ness about the brewery being constructed. Against the wishes of his superiors, Ness decides to let Lassater complete construction so it will cost the Mob even more money.

Episode Quotes
 
Lassater: I don't like crowds. Bad for business.
 
Edna: You're a boob, Harry.
Harry: I didn't come to get called names.
 
Gordon: I would have crawled across the roof on my belly to stay alive.
 
Hobson: You think the syndicate's bringing in a new inside man?
Ness: If they are someone's out of a job.
 
Lassater: Well, Harry, we're on our way.
 
 
Analysis
 
This one rates as a good cure for insomnia although we do get a good performance from Milton Selzer as a Mob "inside man" who's about to lose his job.
