"The Kansas City Massacre" chronicles criminal Verne Miller's flight after the 1933 Kansas City massacre, his descent into the underworld, and his eventual violent death at the hands of his own associates on November 29, 1933. "Joe 'Boss' Masseria" documents the rise and murderous career of union racketeer Joe Masseria, whose control over milk rackets and other criminal enterprises ended when he was killed on April 15, 1931, in a Coney Island restaurant, meeting a death as brutal as those he had inflicted on others.
Joe Masseria, the feared leader of the Union of Blood, rules New York’s criminal underworld with an iron fist, surviving assassination attempts through sheer luck and cunning. As rival gangs and his own men plot against him, a tense power struggle unfolds, culminating in a deadly showdown that could end his reign.
Baby Face Nelson, a young criminal with a flair for daring robberies, teams up with his partner Smitty in a reckless train heist that goes horribly wrong when Smitty is injured in a near-fatal accident. Though briefly shaken by the incident, Nelson soon returns to his life of crime, drawn by a need for quick money and a desire to impress a woman named Marie, leading him into a dangerous new scheme with a partner named Gunshot Geiger.
