Synopsis

In 1947, WWII vet Pat Patton searches for his brother who has gone missing from Itchy and Pruneface's construction site. Tracy begins to question Mumbles about the diner murders when the mumbling informer is abruptly taken by Chief Brandon and put into "protective custody", from which he soon disappears. Tracy has a WWII flashback nightmare of a fierce battle, with himself and Pat Patton on the Allied side, and (possibly) Pruneface with the Germans. Flattop executes the kidnapped Mumbles. Fears escalate over a coming gang war between the mobs of Lips Manlis and “Big Boy” Caprice.
