New member of the Gangster Squad, Sgt. Jerry Wooters, becomes the foe of Mickey Cohen and a friend of Jack ‘the Enforcer’ Whalen.

While mob killings like the Two Tonys murders remain unsolved, the squad savors Cohen’s conviction on federal charges of income tax evasion -- and sets a trap for him.

The Gangster Squad was formed in 1946 to keep East Coast Mafia out of L.A. Its ‘anything goes’ approach endured through the 1950s in an era when justice was found far from the courthouse.
