Plot Overview

Torello and his date are having dinner at a restaurant when the venue is fire-bombed. That, along with the murder of a popular leader in the Resort Worker's Union, leads him to believe that Luca is planning to crack into the Union. Luca backs a candidate named Sam Taylor, while Torello and the Task Force support his opponent, Roger Jankowski, a close friend of the dead man. Frank Holman also turns up in Vegas, as the lead singer of a rockabilly band. After Luca and Pauli viciously beat him, he's back in the fold with the Mob.
