Nomination Year: 2006
SYNOPSIS: A bunch of new US Attorneys are sworn in. One takes the task of trying to arrest Dominic Leopold, a gangster whose primary talents are staying out of prison and making money. Another needs to prosecute a heroin deal whose only witness is paid by the police ... per conviction. The plot revolves (at about 3 RPM) around the first, where small-time gangsters are being killed, one after another. Eventually the US attorneys get evidence that Leopold is influencing the bidding process for public construction via a bribery/kickback deal with the Utilities Commission (William Shatner wearing a fuzzy-caterpillar-style moustache).
After a while, the first plot is sort of resolved, and the second one is left hanging. The head attorney tells the new guy that he has given the matter some thought, and might have a solution. Then they walk into the courthouse, laughing, and credits roll.
