In the Chicago of the late
twenties, Eliot Ness was assigned to harass Al Capone's gang as much as he
could. Constructing a squad of about ten men, carefully selected after an
extensive screening, he set out on his task with vigor. Whenever his squad
planned to raid one of Capone's stills, breweries, or speakeasies, he made sure
that there was at least one newspaper man present to document the event.
Contrary to popular belief, Ness and Capone never met, nor was it Ness
who finally gathered enough evidence to get Capone behind bars. The nickname "The
Untouchables" was given to Ness' squad by Capone's men because theirs
effort to bribe Ness and his men failed. Although Ness' efforts did little to
destroy Capone's empire, his perseverance in battling Capone assured him of a
place among the legends of organized crime.
