About this listen
In 1933, five men took out life insurance policies on homeless alcoholic Michael Malloy, figuring he'd be dead within weeks. What followed was the most incompetent murder plot in criminal history. They served him antifreeze instead of liquor - he asked for more. They fed him sandwiches filled with carpet tacks and broken glass - he said they were delicious. They left him unconscious in a snowbank in sub-zero weather - he showed up the next day asking for drinks. They ran him over with a car at 45 mph - he recovered in the hospital and returned to the bar. For months, the increasingly desperate "Murder Trust" tried poison gas, more car accidents, and elaborate schemes while Malloy cheerfully survived every attempt on his life. Discover the darkly comic true story of the toughest man who ever lived, the bungling killers who couldn't finish the job, and how their hilariously failed murder conspiracy finally came to an end.
