The Molly Maguires
They were called the Molly's.
Pennsylvania coal towns, 1876. Black powder smoke curls from a sabotaged breaker as a foreman finds his company ledger slit with a miners' knife. A Pinkerton agent infiltrates the secret society sworn to burn what feeds them. Hatched inside the strike-zone realism of 1970 New Hollywood.
