Synopsis of The Untouchables: The Big Squeeze
This episode was written by W.R. Burnett of Little Caesar fame, so it shouldn't be a surprise that much of the story is told from the viewpoint of the nominal villain--in this case, dapper bank robber Larry "Ace" Banner (Dan O'Herlihy). As a clever as he is prolific, Banner is a master of disguise and psychology, frequently covering his tracks by preying on bankers who are even bigger crooks than he is. Unable to put the cuffs on Banner because bank robbery is not yet a Federal crime, Elliot Ness (Robert Stack) must resort to other, more subtle methods to trip up the elusive thief. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
