In the continuing coverage of Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger, we trace the Terror Gang's steps after the deadly jailbreak in Lima, Ohio, which included daring robberies of police stations for guns and ammo, as well as more banks in Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. The game of cops and robbers was growing quite dire as both sides upped the ante.

We also meet the woman who became the love of Dillinger's life, Mary "Billie" Frechette, as well as expand on some of Dillinger's lesser-known movements after his release from prison.
