| Summary |
Eliot Ness (Robert Stack) is Prohibition Agent #1, leading a team of die-hard Feds who cannot be scared, duped, or bribed. Aside from upholding Prohibition, Agents Lee Hobson (Paul Picerni), Enrico Rossi (Nicholas Georgiade), William Youngfellow (Abel Fernandez), and Jack Rossman (Steve London) widen their net to focus on the city's other rampant crimes...from racketeering to prostitution. For every bad guy obsessed with power, there is an Untouchable ready and waiting to take him down. Narrated by renowned commentator Walter Winchell, this first-rate drama becomes a time capsule for the best and worst of 1930's Chicago. Whether they are chasing down bootleggers or dismantling the skeleton of organised crime, Ness and his agents are icons of justice, turning ground-breaking stories into great television. |
