Having been on the side of the law as one of the original "Untouchables" in the series' two-part pilot film, Keenan Wynn returns in the despicably villainous role of Augie "The Banker" Ciamino. Terrorizing his fellow Italian immigrants into submission, Ciamino forces them to set up small stills in their homes, enabling him to ship thousands of gallons of bootleg booze right under the Feds' noses. In order to break Ciamino's back, Elliot Ness (Robert Stack) must win the trust of the hapless immigrants. To this end, he enlists the aid of night-school English teacher Mr. Lee (Bernard Kates), who passes along coded messages via blackboard. Unfortunately, one of Mr. Lee's students, baker Renzo Raineri (Will Kuluva), has a son named Paul (Lee Phillips) who works as Ciamino's bookkeeper--and Paul isn't the sort of guy who can keep a secret.
