The Secret 6

Chicago attorney Richard Newton is a mob boss who handles the legal affairs of his associates, he usually needing to use intimidation and actual violence to achieve his end goals. Johnny Franks heads his bootlegging operation, they only needing to get competitor Joe Colimo out of the way to control the liquor distribution in town. Johnny has hired his rough-around-the-edges friend Louis "Slaughterhouse" Scorpio, so nicknamed for working at one of the slaughterhouses next to the stock yards, to work in the bootlegging operation. Slaughterhouse shows that he will do whatever for the organization while looking out for himself. Out of circumstance, Slaughterhouse rises to the head of the bootlegging operation. While the media has been easy on reporting on their operation, reporters Hank Rogers and Carl Luckner end up working for who are called the Secret Six, a tribunal of six unknown men working to take down Newton, Slaughterhouse and their criminal associates. The two are aided by Anne Courtland, who works in a bar operated by Slaughterhouse and thus can provide inside information, her assistance out of her love for Rogers.
