Episode Goofs |
| |
This episode features the completely inane scenario of Machine Gun Jack McGurn, the reputed architect of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, working for Bugs Moran, the massacre's intended victim.
| Historical goof #2: the real Bugs Moran took off for Canada and later France in the wake of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. He never regained any of his former gangland glory and died of lung cancer in Leavenworth Federal Prison in 1957 while serving time for an Ohio bank robbery he had been involved in.

Analysis |
| |
If I didn't know better, I'd swear that the screenwriter wrote this one as a parody of an Untouchables episode and sent it in to the producers as a joke. Then, the producers didn't get the joke and filmed it straight. Change the channel if this episode is ever rerun on your local station.
