Melodramatic gangster action characterizes this tough and freely
fictionalized biography of notorious, murderous Chicago mobster Roger
Touhy. Set during Prohibition, it centers on Touhy's rise from small time
thug to the city's most powerful bootlegger whose empire is rivaled only
by that of Al Capone (who is referred to, but never named in the story). It
is his rival who frames Touhy for kidnapping and arranges for him to
serve a life-long term in Stateville prison. Determined to be free again,
the desperate Touhy and his cellmate Basil "the Owl" Banghart, begin
plotting a violent break out.
