*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
A major gang war is quashed at the outset when one affronted mobster sends another a gift of marzipan, there is a powwow. Meanwhile, Kojak is cleaning up after the strange heist at a regular racket.
So peace is maintained, an emotional peace repairing wounded sensibilities and a sense of betrayed trust. Then it starts up again, bushwhacking, sniping and interference.
A kingpin is plucked right out of a private gambling joint and kept on ice. Kojak interviews the wife, a thoroughly practiced moll with a faultless line on business and respectability in the workaday world, the noble honesty of her husband and all that jazz, behind her tinted glasses. Additionally, she has a lover.
Chinese youths are weary of toeing the line, the gang's plan is to move out and clean up in a bloodbath initiated by well-timed jabs such as these. A very touching portrayal of a family-owned shop in Chinatown gives the picture, insular mama from the old country, capable American kids denying anything goes on in the back, numbers, etc. Then the gang.
