Machine Gun Kelly

George ''Machine Gun Kelly'' Barnes is a Prohibition-era gangster effectively hiding behind his powerful gun. Kelly is meek, self-doubting and gripped with a paralyzing fear of death. But he's goaded toward bigger crimes by his conniving moll, Flo, and her desire for fame. After his crony Fandango loses an arm in a bank robbery, Kelly is pushed into a grand kidnapping scheme that will lead to his downfall.
