About this episode

In the shadowy streets of the 1920s Jazz Age, John and Mabel Carroll—dubbed the "Millionaire Bandits"—charmed and conned their way across America. From daring post office heists to masterminded escapes, their criminal exploits captivated the nation. John’s audacious prison breakout to rescue his dying wife became a sensational story of love and defiance. This true crime tale unravels the Carrolls’ legacy, blending romance, rebellion, and a fading dream of freedom.
