Queen of the Mob


Queen of the Mob is a 1940 American film also known as The Woman from Hell, directed by James P. Hogan.

Infamous Ma Webster rules her clan of mobsters mainly consisting of her three more or less criminally inclined sons with an iron hand and without mercy. She is the terror of Centre City. She refuses to let anyone else handle the planning of all the clans robberies, much to George Frosts dismay. George is the only clan member who isnt related to Ma Webster. George protests and makes a fuss about this, but to no avail. Ma and her sons Eddie, Charlie and Tom team up with George on Christmas Eve itself to rob the Centre City bank. They are warned, however, by Bert, Mas more lawful son, who studies law and disdains the criminal behaviour of the rest of his family. Bert urges his mother and his brothers to get out of town to prevent them from being arrested for previous crimes the police and the FBI have found evidence of.Ma listens to Bert and takes the gang on a crime spree across several states. This tour gives the gang a heap of cash, including 300,000 in ransom for a kidnapping, as well as cash from various robberies. Since Ma and the gang are well aware that the cash they have received had been tagged by the FBI, and that the serial numbers of the bills are probably registered, they meet up with a shady character called Pan to make an exchange for unmarked ones. They get 100,000 in cash for the bounty, but the temptation of keeping their bounty is to strong, and they kill Pan and leave. What they dont know is that the FBI has a list of all the bills in Pans possession, found in his coat pocket. Soon the Feds are in the gangs tracks again. ........
