Erskine and Rhodes are investigating Johnny Albin, a "juicer," who makes loans to desperate businessmen and then uses his leverage to take control of their companies for La Cosa Nostra boss Mark Vincent. Erskine hopes to use Albin to get to Vincent, who controls a savings-and-loan and other legitimate business fronts. One of Albin's businessmen victims is hesitant to help the FBI for fear his wife and daughter will be killed or injured.
