A dramatised reconstruction of four famous Scottish murder cases which took place within a square mile of the city of Glasgow.
Based on the book by JACK HOUSE 2: The Human Crocodile by STEPHEN MULRINE with Anthony Bate as Dr Edward Pritchard
A foul, cold-blooded human-crocodile!
Plots calmly on for months, from day to day,
To take his fellow-creature's life away.
Quoted from a penny poem sold to the crowd which watched the last public hanging in Glasgow on 28 July 1865.
