The Untouchables (1959): Chicago, 1929. Mike Brannon's been a cop for 15 years, but now he's being suspended for hospitalizing "one of Tony Lamberto's dope-pushing punks." Mike thinks Captain Bellows is corrupt for not going to bat for him. There is a tense moment when the Captain asks for Mike's gun-- Mike points it at him. But then, Mike turns the gun over and leaves. The dollar value of the city's wholesale industrial trade is $6-billion; the revenue of organized crime is $200-million. "Tough Tony" Lamberto's Market Street Produce Co. is just a legit façade; it takes in a percentage off the top-- from every racket dollar in the Southside of Chicago. Tony Lamberto is often the target of rival gangsters, so he rides around in a steel-plated limo with bulletproof glass; it cost $30,000. (this is a time when most people make $600 to $1,000 a year, and cars cost $500.) Right now Tony has another problem: a visit from Eliot Ness and his men. One of Tony's boys, Max Templar, is eating a honeydew melon; but Ness and his men inspect some melons in crates marked with an "X" and find a packet of heroin. Max gets a trip to the pokey, but Tony Lamberto's shyster attorneys get him sprung in no time. Mike Brannon assembles his 4 brothers: Keir, a pool hall hustler who could make 40 bucks a week; Clarence, a small-time wrestler making 20 bucks a week; Denny, a welder, is the youngest, making $16 a week; and Sean, auto mechanic -- together, they are A Fist of Five. Mike Brannon tells them his plan, to both get revenge on crooked millionaire Tony Lamberto, and to make them rich-- they'll kidnap Tony and demand a $150,000 ransom. District Attorney Beecher Asbury tells Ness they've got Lamberto on income tax evasion; the hearing is set and they expect to get a conviction. Meanwhile, Lamberto is telling his top shyster Viertel to fix it; the mouthpiece says you can't grease it when it's Federal. Lamberto asks him what he's paying him a $50,000 a year retainer for. But tough Tony's got a gentler side, too-- he loves his wife. Angie is a beautiful 35-year-old woman who is confined to a wheelchair now; when they married 3 years ago, she was a showgirl. A rival gangster had planted a bomb in a speakeasy to kill Tony, but his wife got injured instead. Tony tells her he wants out of the rackets, and he'll take her to the Old Country; she likes that. Tony calls Angie "carissima mia." (my dearest) Lamberto talks to Ness, he wants to make a deal. Lamberto will give Ness the info he needs to bust his Market Street Produce Co. (which Ness has been unable to do so far); in exchange, he wants Ness to talk to the Feds in Washington, DC, and guarantee he'll do no jail time-- just pay the taxes he owes, and be deported to Italy. The hearing is set for Friday, Lamberto wants to meet with Ness again Thursday; Ness says he'll "see what he can do." Meanwhile, the Brannon brothers cleverly disguise a car to look like a police car: they paint "Chicago Police Dept." on the door with white paint using stencils, and attach an old, discarded police siren. That night, they use the phony car, siren wailing, to pull over Lamberto's car; Mike Brannon, wearing his cop uniform, shoots the driver, Albert "Monk" Colcheck. They put the snatch on Lamberto. Lamberto was to meet with top mobster Augie Relyea, bookkeeper Manny and a couple of others; instead, Augie Relyea gets a phone call from Mike Brannon, demanding $150,000 ransom tomorrow at noon. But next day at noon, Augie Relyea doesn't answer the phone-- he figures Lamberto's gonna go up the river for 10 years anyway. So that night Mike kidnaps Syndicate lieutenant Max Templar. Next phone call, a defiant Augie Relyea yells, "We ain't payin' nothin'!" But when Max's body shows up in their dumb waiter, Augie has a change of plan; he decides to pay the money, (and then blast the kidnappers). The police find the phony cop car; Ness notices the serial number on the siren, and traces this back to the 14th Precinct, and Captain Bellows, who tells him it must be Mike Brannon kidnapping his old nemesis Lamberto. That night, Augie Relyea and his boys drop off the ransom dough; Augie tells Carmine he'll get a bonus if Lamberto "accidentally" gets a slug. Mike Brannon picks up the loot and takes it to Brannon's Auto Repair; the whole time, Augie and his boys are keeping a lookout. Lamberto's hoods find the Brannon brothers-- at Brannon's Auto Repair. (of all places.) They blast Denny with a chopper but he lives; they gun down Sean and Clarence permanently. Mike and Keir escape in a speeding car, but without the money. Ness and his men show up. They shoot one of Augie's boys, and arrest everyone else. In the hospital, Ness tells Denny he wants to take his 2 remaining brothers alive; Denny tells him about the sewer they used to play in as kids. But in the sewer, the brothers don't surrender, instead they start firing. Youngfellow shoots Keir. Mike shoots Tony Lamberto in the back, but he doesn't die right away. Ness' men capture Mike. A dying Tony asks Ness what the Feds in Washington said; Ness tells him they said "no deal." Nonetheless, Tony tells Ness to ask his wife Angie for the "special" set of books they kept; with his dying breath, Tony says, "Tell her... I love her." The books brought convictions of all the officers in the rackets organization. As for Mike Brannon, he was convicted of murder and kidnapping-- and was buried next to his brothers.
