Blue Beetle narrates the violent true crime story of Wilber Underhill, a brutal career criminal who evolved from petty bootlegger to trigger-happy bank robber, eventually teaming with the notorious Kimes Brothers before his unpredictable violence made him a liability even to hardened criminals. Driven by rage and a compulsion toward murder, Underhill embarks on a relentless spree across Oklahoma and Kansas, marked by prison escapes and deadly confrontations with law enforcement. As his crimes escalate in savagery, Blue Beetle traces how this "Tri-State Terror" became one of the most dangerous criminals the authorities ever hunted.
