Synopsis by Hal Erickson

In his third Untouchables appearance, Nehemiah Persoff impersonates another real-life gangland figure, in this case the notorious "beer baron" Waxey Gordon. Riding high on the hog after cornering the New Jersey beer market, Waxey has no compunction about killing or double-crossing everyone in sight to advance his career--and even manages to dally with two sexy chorines in the process. But Ness isn't about to turn down the heat on Waxey, and by episode's end he has managed to come up with a novel method of gathering enough evidence to beard the "baron" in his own den. This is the episode in which a mob conclave is staged in the manner of a medieval banquet, replete with a "castle", a battalion of lackeys and a baroque musical score.
