Elliot Ness is just assigned as the head of investigation in the Chicago police force, sanctioned by the State Department. The film chronicles the rivalry between gangster Al Capone and Ness as they both try to outwit and outgun each other, threw a series of action-packed and exciting adventures. Malone is an old Irish cop who wants to help Ness, and he does, by telling him exactly how to get to Capone and beat him, with his insider information. Charles Martiin Smith is the brains of the group, who can bring down Capone by using IRS laws against him. Andy Garcia is the marksman of the group, and he is recruited last, while they are looking for the best shooter in the Chicago P.D. trainee department. The Untouchables form a sort of internal affairs group, who can't trust any of their fellow cops, and thus go at it alone.
