It's 1924 Brooklyn, and Celia and Ed Cooney embark on a crime spree. As the pair's robberies become more audacious and the police bungle their attempts to nab them, the papers have a heyday with the police department's ineptitude. Increasingly humiliated, the police commissioner gives the order to shoot to kill. Will Celia and Ed elude the deadly dragnet of Brooklyn's men in blue?
