UNTOUCHABLES, THE: THE RUSTY HELLER STORY (TV)
Summary
One in this series of dramas based on the cases of federal agent Eliot Ness and his team of investigators as they battle corruption during the Prohibition era. In this episode, as Al Capone's empire shows signs of collapsing, a young, beautiful, ambitious woman, Rusty Heller, attempts to gain power in the underworld by charming Capone's probable successor, Charles "Pops" Felcher. While Ness and the Untouchables struggle to bring an end to Capone's business, the underworld waits to see who will move into the new position of power, and Heller is determined to be in the winning corner. Heller pursues Felcher with confidence after charming his lawyer, Grayson, and after successfully charming Ness as well. Additionally, she tries to speed up Capone's downfall by helping Ness find the evidence that will incriminate Capone. But when Grayson and Pops betray her, Heller tries to get revenge.
