A blood war is about to break out between a neighborhood of gypsies and one of Capone's distributors of rot-gut after a gypsy dies. In the middle of this explosive situation is Eliot Ness, who wants to help the gypsies but they insist on taking matters into their own hands with disastrous results.

There really was a death tree as depicted in this episode only it was located in Little Italy not Chicago's gypsy neighborhood. The blood-stained Genna brothers used to post the names of their intended victims on this tree.
Victor: We have no friends. We have only each other.
Ness: In this country, you have friends.
Victor: (to Alex and Benno) This is a warning from the Senate. We don't want Colescu here. Tell him.
Colescu: (about Victor Bartok) We make him sweat. We use the Tree.
Ness: You owe it to your people.
Victor: You ask a great deal, Mr. Ness. We are not like other people. For eight hundred years we have walked the earth, and every man's hand has been against us. We have learned a lesson. We have no friends. Only each other.
Ness: (to Magda) Maybe you'd talk easier in the light.
Ness: (to Magda) Tomorrow we'll know more about you than your own mother. Talk and we can both get some sleep.
Benosh: We will order our people not to drink his whiskey.
Fedor: Benosh as always finds the correct way. Colescu's strength is in his whiskey. We shall destroy his strength.
Rico: We just checked ourselves into another blind alley.
Ness: We need someone to lead us out.
Alex: Mr. Bartok, she's wrong. We are open--for business.
Ness: (to Magda) You're playing with some big boys now. It's a pretty rough game for a girl.
Magda: We think that some women are as smart as some men.
Ness: Some?
Ness: We're going downtown.
Alex: What are you gonna do?
Ness: You won't like it.
Benno: (about Alex) He's facin' a murder rap. He'll sing like a whole chorus.
Hobson: Eliot, you can't read a man's record into a trial. It's illegal. You know that.
Ness: Yeah.
Benno: I ain't goin' no further.
Colescu: You don't wanna go any further, all right. So stay. [shoots Benno]
Narrator: Suddenly, the Gypsies had lost their thirst. It was as if the plague had hit. For one man it had. For Janos Colescu.
Colescu: (counting the take) Nothin'. Don't even pay to add it up.
Colescu: Now we hit the next one--the girl.
Benno: But Ness is watchin' her night and day.
Colescu: The Feds gotta quit sometime. I can wait.
Colescu: (referring to his father's fate) Some things the dough don't pay for.
Colescu: (to Ness and Magda after seizing control of the Senate) My name is Colescu. Something you want?
Benno: I need a drink.
Colescu: So go to a speak.
