From 1933 to 1934, America was thrilled and terrorized by John Dillinger, bank robber and desperado whose reputation grew until he became the country's first Public Enemy No. 1. Hunted by every cop in America, Dillinger became a minor folk hero, garnering the support of ordinary Americans hard hit by the Great Depression. Betrayed by a mysterious woman, Dillinger finally fell to the guns of the F.B.I., led by J. Edgar Hoover.
