"Legs" is a fictionalized of the last third of the life of the gangster/bootlegger, Jack 'Legs'Diamond as told by the man who was to become his lawyer, Marcus Gorman. He describes his tangled love life, a love triangle with his wife Alice and his mistress, a dancer named Kiki Roberts, his attempt to put a scare into another bootlegger by burning his feet and threatening to hang him, which eventually causes his arrest and trial, and his several escapes from death at the hands of inept shooters, as when he is shot in a bar, but only wounded.
