Frank Nitti hides a huge shipment of heroin inside a hollowed out globe of the world and stores it inside the vault of a mob-owned bank. While Ness and the Untouchables search for the heroin, a joker appears in the deck when Nitti's greedy lieutenant, Larry Bass, decides to break into the vault and steal the heroin for himself.

Analysis |
| |
The rarity of rarities: a great Season Four episode. Also Bruce Gordon's swan song as Frank Nitti. When we last see "the Enforcer" he is being led away into custody but we learn from the narration that he beats the rap. You can't keep a good gangster down.
