The Untouchables (1959): January 1932. Smalltime bootlegger Al Remp is serving 3-5 years in prison; he's done 3 years and is up for parole next week, but it seems he won't get it. The guards put him in solitary, and Remp has a visitor: Eliot Ness. Remp tells him, "I got nothing to say to you." But Ness tells him that if he agrees to help him nail bigtime bootlegger "Fat" Augie Strom, his former boss, he'll get that parole; or else 2 more years is a long time. Remp is married to a good woman; the whole time he's been in prison, she did "stand by her man." Remp agrees to help Ness. "Fat" Augie Strom is a very heavyset man who perspires even in winter, his operation is at a meat packing plant by the Chicago stockyards; he likes the large refrigeration section where the meat is prepared, it's nice and cool in there-- he's the Man in the Cooler. A big man with a big temper, he has "Bitsy" Whyller rub out Pete Laffey for bungling a job. Remp is reunited with his faithful wife Marcie; but he also has to meet with Ness, who gives him 50 bucks to buy a nice suit, and a gun for protection, so he can rejoin the Strom organization. Next day, Remp meets with Strom; perfect timing, there just happens to be an opening (since Pete got bumped off). Augie Strom is decentralizing, he's moving 7,000 cases of booze, worth 850 grand, to various warehouses across Chicago. Remp steals a duplicate of the manifest. When Bitsy tails Remp, and catches him phoning Ness, he's going to take him to Strom. But Remp shoots Bitsy; Remp tells Strom that Bitsy was the one talking to Ness. Strom gives Remp 5 grand; with the taste of more big money to come, Remp decides to double-cross Ness, and keep working for Strom for real. Remp is now Strom's top man. But when Strom finds out that Remp took the manifest from the warehouse, he sends hitman Harry Tazik to knock Remp off. At Remp's apartment, Harry is about to take Remp to Strom, at gunpoint. Ness and Lee Hobson show up. In the shootout, Harry kills Remp; Ness and Lee Hobson shoot Harry. Ness finds the manifest in Harry's suit. With that information, Ness and his Untouchables locate and destroy the 850 grand supply of booze. But Marcie Remp is now a widow; she wishes her husband would have stayed safely in prison, rather than rejoin the mob. Ness had asked Remp to go back to a life of crime, as an undercover man, but the temptation was too much for him. Remp had turned again only Ness never found out. As for Marcie Remp, she lost herself in her own despair and loneliness and didn't even bother to attend her husband's funeral. (synopsis by: kdh)
