Episode description

The year is 1933. It's the Great Depression, the last year of prohibition, and alcoholism is widespread. 
This sets the scene for the case of Michael Malloy, otherwise known as "Iron Mike" and "Mike the Durable". Mike is an alcoholic who drinks 24/7...and he's also the target of a group of people known collectively as "The Murder Trust". 
Let's count how many attempts on his life that they made:
1...2...3...4...5...and it goes on and on.
