The true account of St. Louis desperadoes John Couch and James Otis Meredith, whose 1938 road trip turned into a two week Midwest crime spree that brought them as far south as Dallas-Fort Wort, Texas, and as far north as Effie, Minnesota, within 100 miles of the Canadian border.Their activities along the way caught the attention of the FBI, who initially thought that these crimes were being perpetrated by Floyd Hamilton and Huron Ted Walters, then No. 1 and No. 2 on the FBI's "Most Wanted List."
