S1E3 - Stand and Deliver!

  • Summary

  • The figure of the Highwayman as popularized by movies and books, giving way to a dashing figure, masked and vaguely threatening. Characters like Zorro and Robin Hood come to mind, as well as those scantily clad painted covers from the romance section of the book store. But what about the real crimes? Were they really that good? In this episode we will explore the stories of two such highwaymen and separate the romanticized figure from the true villains and dastardly deeds. Can you tell which one is the true case and which is just a tall tale?
