This program describes how the Volstead Act was passed and the Mafia took over America. In 1920, the American government cracked down on drinking and banned the sale and consumption of alcohol. But instead of making America a better place, prohibition funded the creation of an even greater evil - the Mafia. Chicago became a city torn by rival gangs led by the notorious Al Capone and his arch enemy Bugs Moran. On St. Valentine's Day, Al Capone's men massacred members of Moran's gang in a blood bath at a disused garage. The murders horrified America and on February 20 1933, prohibition was abolished, ridding the gangsters of their most valuable source of income.
