Synopsis
is about a workingman who moonlights as a bootlegger. Police raid his property while he’s distilling moonshine, and a federal officer dies in the shootout. The workingman goes to jail for second-degree murder, then spends his time in the prison’s tool shop. He can repair anything with pieces of scrap metal. Eventually, he invents a repeating rifle with a short piston, the foundation of the M1 Carbine used during WWII.
