The year is 1929 and Prohibition is at its height. Until last week Chicago was run by four big players. Tommy Gunn, who runs booze and girls, Al Kohol, who runs booze and protection rackets, Spits Feathers, who runs booze and gambling dens through his bakery business cover and, until his murder last week, Buck Fifty who ran booze and slot machines. As the rival gangs move in on Buck’s empire, Tommy Gunn has called a party to celebrate his 40th birthday, but does he have other sinister plans?

For 6 to 10 players

• Buddy Vizor – Gangster and Tommy Gunn’s right hand man for the last four years. Some might describe him as hired muscle but he considers that he is a thoughtful and sensitive individual.
• Cherry Bee – A flapper who has been going out with Tommy Gunn for the last six months. She is a thoroughly modern girl and she loves all of the music and dancing of the era.
• Al Kohol – A rival gangster and bootlegger who operates out of the North Side of Chicago. He and Tommy go back a long way and are very old ‘friends’!
• Brandy Chaser – A flapper who has been going out with Al Kohol for three months. A lively girl who loves to dance to all of the latest hot songs.
• Gil T. Azell – Police Commissioner for Chicago. He always tells the newspapers that he has to maintain a high profile in the City so that he has a better chance of nailing some real criminals.
• Roxanne Redlight – A professional singer and dancer who would grace any stage. She started off in the chorus line but her ruthless ambition drove her into the spotlight.
• Bart Ender – A barman who has worked for Tommy Gunn for two weeks. He considers himself to be a star behind the bar and loves to mix fancy cocktails when he has the ingredients.
• Heidi Schnapps – A waitress in Tommy Gunn’s Speakeasy. She dreams of one day becoming a dancer on the stage and hearing the roar of the audience as they yell for more.
• Tim Pannally – A musician who has played with Claire for some time. A very versatile performer, he prefers the saxophone but can play twenty instruments.
• Claire Rinnett – A musician who usually plays in clubs and speakeasies. She has worked with Tim Panally for some time but their relationship is purely professional. She can play lots of different instruments and loves to demonstrate her abilities.
