Paul Marino investigates organised crime taking over parts of the the New York Jewish garment industry.
Victor Cobalt is willing to lend over $100,000 to a pair of factory owners who cannot get an unsecured loan from a bank.
Despite misgivings they go ahead with the loan. However both are soon over their heads. They have to pay a very high monthly interest but also find themselves being dictated to by Cobalt.
Meanwhile Cobalt's son is sweet on their lead designer. However Victor is not happy about it and he is also unwilling to let his son handle business.
This is an episode where Marino takes a bit of a back seat to the story. Jack Flood takes a beating as he investigates the trucking side of things. There is also a lot of Jewish black humour.
It concentrates more on the developing love story between Cobalt's son who wants to prove himself to his father and the designer who reluctantly falls for him.
Despite Cobalt's reputation there are several people in the firm who shoot their mouths off about gangsters in public. They pay a painful price. I did think one of the co-owners of the firm should had been more discreet.
Everett Sloane who appeared in Citizen Kane plays the garment factory owner who realises too late that he has done a deal with the devil.
