Episode synopsis
John Dillinger from a small Indiana farm became one of America's most notorious bank robbers. Not inherently violent, prison turned him into a big-time criminal. Dillinger's first gang wrought havoc across the Midwest, robbing banks and, eventually, killing a police officer. After a prison escape, he led a new gang with 'Baby Face' Nelson, becoming a folk hero before his eventual capture.
