In 1930, during Prohibition, the notorious gangland boss Al Capone supplies illegal liquor and controls most of Chicago.

Crooked alderman John O'Shea offers Ness a bribe to drop his investigation, but Ness refuses.

Realizing that police chief Mike Dorsett betrayed Wallace and George earlier on, Malone forces Dorsett to reveal where Capone's accountant Walter Payne is hiding, then tells Ness to meet him to plan their next move.
