This episode of The Untouchables features a battle of wits between two total opposites in personality. Bruce Gordon as Frank Nitti selects for reasons I'm not quite certain of gambler Paul Richards to be his spokesperson and negotiator in the take over of the territory of a certain unnamed city. Richards is a cold blooded customer who really loves the sound of his own voice. And of course he decides to see what the odds are like for him to go into business for himself.
The other part of the story is Mike Kellin who is the local boss and not really playing with a full deck. He causes the murder of a federal agent which brings Robert Stack and his crew in the picture.
It's not the best Untouchables episode, but that final confrontation scene with Kellin and Richards is a beauty.
