The gangster George ("Baby Face") Nelson kills Samuel P. Cowley, a special agent with the recently formed Federal Bureau of Investigation. Cowley, the first Mormon FBI agent, is the son of the former apostle, Matthias F. Cowley. Samuel Cowley helps track down gangster John Dillinger during the summer, and is briefly (wrongly) credited with killing Dillinger. Another Mormon FBI agent, J. Robert Porter, is killed in 1979.
