November 1924. Sportswriter Orville Mulligan is assigned to cover two football games in Roaring Chicago - but with these stories filed, he's got a decidedly more nervewracking piece to write up...
Episode 3 sees Orville finally gain admittance to the Ragen Athletic Club, a semipro men's association which doubles as one of the Windy City's hottest speakeasies. While his sportswriter colleagues have the time of their lives, can Orville keep his wits about him as he interviews Frank Ragen, alleged full-on member of the Chicago underworld and instigator of the Chicago race riot of 1919...?
