The Great Depression devastates the nation. Fast times and easy money of the Roaring '20s are a fading memory. It's a time of bank foreclosures and unemployment. During this period, a new brand of outlaw is born. He drives a V8 Ford, carries a Tommy Gun, wears fine clothes and always seems to have a beautiful woman on his arm. Some of these outlaws become legends: John Dillinger, Bonnie & Clyde, Baby Face Nelson and Ma Barker. One by one they enter the crosshairs of J. Edgar Hoover & the FBI.
