Friday, April 10 - The Untouchables: The Artichoke King

The Untouchables: Season 1, Episode 8 The Artichoke King (3 Dec. 1959)

The mob is out to take control of the wholesale distribution of produce in New York City and Eliot Ness and the Untouchable are brought in on special assignment to deal with it. The mobster behind it all is Ciro Terranova, the Artichoke King. Ness is convinced that Terranova was behind the recent killing of a legitimate produce distributor. Terranova's collector Frankie Yale killed the man and is also out to get of a piece of his boss' empire. They now put the arm on the dead man's son, Tony Cestari, to pay up but he turns to Eliot Ness for help. Terranova's solution to the Frankie Yale problem is to bring in a hit man from Chicago.
