The first story depicts a criminal gang led by a woman who uses poison gas to trap victims in a warehouse, but her plan is foiled when she is caught and killed during a confrontation with law enforcement. The second story, "Ma Barker," follows the notorious criminal Ma Barker and her son Fred as they hide out in Florida; after an FBI agent appeals to their humanity, Ma Barker is killed in a gun battle with federal agents, ending the gang's reign of terror. A third story features a fortune teller in a European slum who uses tarot cards to predict deaths and murders wealthy men whose fates she has written in the cards, until her own daughter becomes one of her predicted victims, leading to the fortune teller's downfall.
"Ma" Barker: Killer!" traces the ruthless rise of Arizona Barker from a girl with a cruel streak in the Ozark Mountains to the calculating mastermind behind one of America's most vicious criminal enterprises. As she orchestrates bank robberies, kidnappings, and murders alongside her sons, the F.B.I. closes in on her hideout in Florida. This true crime story captures how a woman's twisted ambitions shaped a dynasty of killers and set her on a collision course with federal justice.
