One story involves the Lepke gang in Brooklyn, where members conspire to turn state's evidence against their leader; a character named Bernie becomes entangled with the gang's operations and faces threats. Another narrative follows a murder investigation where a man is found stabbed with a door nail at a restaurant, leading Inspector Gandy to interrogate suspects including a woman involved with stolen diamonds and a character named Jethro Geebon. A third story depicts criminals executing a car-theft scheme in Bozeman, with plans to steal vehicles and plant one in front of a bank to frame authorities, while a mother and son await parole. The stories culminate in the criminals' apprehension and the enforcement of justice.
Gerald Chapman pulled off the biggest mail robbery in U.S. history in 1921, netting two million dollars—but his arrogance and ruthlessness quickly caught up with him. After a betrayal lands him in Atlanta penitentiary, Chapman engineers a daring escape and becomes the nation's most hunted fugitive, leaving a trail of violence in his wake. This true crime tale shows how Chapman's confidence that crime would pay ultimately led him nowhere but deeper into a life of desperation and bloodshed.
