This Untouchables episode is the first of two pilot films for the proposed spinoff series The Seekers, starring Barbara Stanwyck as Lt. Agnes "Aggie" Stewart of the Chicago Missing Persons Bureau. The story is set in motion when gangster Charlie Radick (John Larch) learns that he is dying of leukemia. Summoning Elliot Ness (Robert Stack), Charlie offers to provide evidence against his fellow hoodlums. There's just one catch: Radick will turn "fink" only if Ness agrees to locate the mobster's missing daughter Margaret (Peggy Ann Garner) for one last reunion. It is at this point in the proceedings that Aggie Stewart enters the picture, along with her loyal secretary June (Virginia Capers) and her favorite detective Frank Benton (Edward Asner, curiously billed as "Asher" in the closing credits).
