A nice performance by Frank Gorshin as a small time chiseler and fink is wasted in this Untouchables episode. In real life I can't see Eliot Ness bothering with Gorshin let alone giving up a Depression Era $20.00 bill to him just for bringing him stale intelligence.
But a time when Gorshin does get a hold of something valuable, it's the time he should have gotten to Robert Stack yesterday. After witnessing a murder of a gangster's moll at a nightclub where he's a busboy, Gorshin steals an account book that the moll had been threatening Albert Paulsen with.
Now Gorshin decides to use it for leverage himself. What the result is of this enterprise is for you to see the story. But straight arrow Eliot Ness should never be dealing with this guy. He's dismissed other chiselers for a lot less.
