SynopsisExplore the controversial life of New Jersey city mayor Frank Hague, whose propensity for corruption inspired a character on the television show ""Boardwalk Empire."" Frank Hague served as the mayor of Jersey City for much of the early twentieth century. While some believed him a thief, others viewed him as a modern-day Robin Hood.
