Ma Baker's Tonic

The storyline is set in the 1920Ős in the middle of prohibition with Ma Baker the rootin' tootin', shotgun totin', moonshine-makin' hillbilly who's selling her hooch to the Ritzy Club and the Raffia gang.

Only problem is that the Purity League Ladies come on the scene and try to shut down all immoral goings on including the shockingly immoral Ritzy Club with it's dancers, gambling and of course Ma BakerŐs moonshine.

So good old Ma Baker gets the idea to re-market her moonshine ... as "Ma BakerŐs Tonic".
