The Chicago Caper

If youse want to loin da secret o’ ‘Hal’ Coppone’s whereabouts, be in da ‘backroom’ at S.P. Keasy’s Place at 7:00.

Don’t tell nobody!

It’s Chicago, 1928. Flappers are in full swing, along with gangsters, gambling and prostitution.

Alcohol is deemed illegal. And yet it flows freely… if you know the code to get through the door.

Guest’s arrived and entered ‘a printing company’. A few words were uttered and a ‘sliding wall’ opened to a backroom where alcohol flowed, food was served and the game began.
