Paulie Taglia's string of successful robberies of jewelry salesmen by his crew of young,unknown toughs is foiled when the MCU tails the youngsters to Lakeville, Iowa, and catches them in the act. Danny Krychek takes pity on one of the robbers, Howie Dressler, an unemployed electrician whose wife suffers from polio. Lakeville's celebration to honor the Chicago MCU results in raucous brawling & debauchery. Dressler's connection to Paulie worries Ray Luca, who's begun an ambitious campaign to force all Chicago fences to work for him. Mike, Nate & Joey have fun telling tall tales at the Orbit but are interrupted by the bloody consequences of Luca's first enforcement against independent crews.
