In 1933, John Dillinger infiltrates Indiana State Penitentiary and assists in the jailbreak of his crew. Purvis shares Hoover’s belief in using modern methods to battle crime, ranging from cataloging fingerprints to tapping telephone lines. In between a series of bank robberies, Dillinger meets Billie Frechette at a restaurant and impresses her by buying her a fur coat.
