A man working for La Cosa Nostra is on trial. The man who recruited him into the criminal organization believes he will crack during the trial and arranges for him to jump bail and flee the country. Erskine and Colby lead the FBI's pursuit; the man's testimony is needed to incriminate La Cosa Nostra members. Meanwhile, the commission of La Cosa Nostra wants the man dead and has ordered a hit. On top of all that, the fleeing man's wife, who is seven months pregnant, is with him and her condition threatens her life and her unborn child's.
