After The Untouchables, Eliot Ness goes solo. In 1929, Eliot Ness put away Al Scarface Capone and became the biggest living legend this side of law and order. Now it's 1935. With The Untouchables and Prohibition behind him and the Great Depression falling darkly across the nation, Ness arrives in Cleveland to straighten out a crooked city. An anonymous ring of bent cops is dealing in vice, graft, gambling and racketeering, overlorded by a mysterious top cop known as the outside chief. But between corrupt politicians, jealous colleagues, a parasitic reporter and two blondes with nothing in common, Ness has big troubles pulling the sheets off the bed of blue vipers. Until the outside chief makes a move, and Ness moves just a bit quicker.

The former Untouchable teams up with a rookie cop, a headline-hungry reporter, and a beautiful woman in order to catch a crazed killer whose butchery has Cleveland in terror

Following The Dark City and The Butcher's Dozen, legendary lawman Eliot Ness returns to square off against Cleveland's crooked labor leaders. It is the sweltering summer of 1937, and no one but Ness can break the vicious stronghold these racketeers have on the city's unions.
