Between The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape James Coburn made this small role in The Untouchables already relishing his new status as actor closest to enter in stardom, he plays a hitman called Dennis Garrity together Jim Martinson (Brian Keith) a skillful bowling player as hobby, both are hired by the King of Jamaica Ginger booze Rafael Lopez (Michael Ansara) smuggling to Kansas City due the mobster Jerry LaCava (Alfred Ryder) hijacked their shipment aiming for enforcing a partnership of this profitable niche, on the corner Rafael demands killing him and their cronies.
Actually the so vaunted Jamaica Ginger has high content of ethyl alcohol, its constant use has some collateral effects, letting to death their shoppers, a sort of poisoned booze, then Eliot Ness awares of sudden deaths enter in the circuit to track down in Kentucky the Mob's smuggler to try find out the mastermind, meanwhile Garrity and Martinson accomplished their assignment as piece of cake, however let behind some hints whereof Eliot Ness's squad sniff at once, henceforth focusing on two famous hitmen to reach in the supplier mobster of poisonous Jamaica Ginger.
This story the writers overreacted in the amount of booze, on final sequence when a small wagon is burning fire Walter Winchell states such nonsensical quote "Now the smuggles have lost a million dollar of profits" common its took place in early thirties a load cargo of booze is assessed in high sum, one wonders how much is a swig? What kind stuff we have stand to hear, it somewhat remembers such old saying, better hear some foolish things instead be deaf, what kind of fool they think we are?
