In this episode, Alexander Lawson traces John Dillinger’s path from small-town Indiana farm boy to the Depression-era outlaw who robbed banks, escaped from “escape-proof” jails, and captured the imagination of a nation. From the wooden-gun breakout at Crown Point to the bloody raid at Little Bohemia and the final ambush outside the Biograph Theater, this is the rise and fall of the Gentleman Bandit.
