Though the title character is loosely based on that of the notorious
killer/robber Ma Barker, she has been sanitized and prettified to meet the
perceived conservative values of Hollywood movie audiences. Unlike
Barker, who was bad to the bone, Ma Webster is simply a matriarch who
would do anything for her three crazy sons, even assisting them with
thieving and kidnapping. Their exploits land the nefarious family on the
FBI's "most wanted" list and cause the agency to send out their very best
man to find them.
