The Craig Creek Spirits Company, owned by Evelyn and Jacob Slote, is an underdog Canadian distillation company looking for a chance to break into the staid and complacent gin market. Our underdog American bootleggers, Blue Nose and Frankie, see the potential in the remarkable gin being offered by the Slotes and call upon some old friends to handle the distribution end of the bootlegging run.

Document Records (document-records.com) allowed me to use their recordings gratis provided the episode has some educational value – we think this episode would be a useful component of a college class discussing the parallels between the women’s liberation movement and prohibition, as well as offering insight (when taken with the other episodes) into the connections between poverty and bootlegging.
