This episode unravels the bizarre and tragic true story of The Glasgow Ice Cream Wars from the 1980s. What seemed like ordinary ice cream vans was a facade for organised crime involving drugs, stolen goods, and violent turf battles. Intense fear and brutal intimidation tactics marked this period, culminating in the death of several members of the Doyle family. The wrongful conviction of Thomas Campbell and Joe Steele, who spent decades in prison before being freed, adds to the story's complexity. Despite suspicions surrounding other gangsters, including Tam McGraw, the case remains unresolved, prompting reflections on justice, power, and the impact of organised crime.
