The premise, in the publisher's words

The 20's in Chicago was a rough time. A time when gangsters ruled the streets, crime was a way of life and corruption was everywhere. Don't sit back and take it anymore, pick-up your machine gun and blow 'em away, but be careful of the innocent women, children, dogs, and cats on the street. Capone is one of several Actionware adventures that allow you to get into a game like never before. Use your mouse as a gun, or by using the Actionware Light Gun (optional), you can actually shoot the bad guys up to 15 feet away. You will find adventure and action like never before.
