S03E01 The Troubleshooter
Episode Overview
During the summer of 1934, punchboards emerged as the latest gambling craze across the country. Though they were small stakes, their profits quickly added up, generating more revenue for the mob than the numbers game. After Eliot Ness and his team dismantle several punchboard production sites, the five key members of the syndicate convene at a building near the freight yards. This gathering includes top mobsters from Chicago (Jake "Joe" Petrie), Cincinnati, St. Louis, Detroit, and New York (Max Riegel). Petrie succinctly identifies their main issue: Eliot Ness.
