Tales from the world of gamblers and small-time crooks who inhabited the world of the speakeasies during Prohibition. The Prohibition era comes alive in these comic tales featuring dames (dolls, babes, broads, or ever-loving wives) and guys (players, gamblers, citizens and cops), along with the gee-gees, the bars and the speakeasies of the day. All written in Runyon's unique comic style.
