synopsis

Dutch Schultz, New York's "Beer Baron of the Bronx," entered the $20 million Harlem numbers racket by age 33, earning J. Edgar Hoover's title of Public Enemy #1. District Attorney Thomas Dewey relentlessly pursued him for tax evasion. The "Big Six" crime syndicate and "Murder Inc." sought to eliminate him. Known for violence, Schultz aimed to assassinate Dewey but ultimately met his own demise.
