About DICKIE & BABE: The Truth About Leopold & Loeb: A
CHICAGO. 1924. Hyper-intelligent rich teens Richard "Dickie" Loeb & Nathan "Babe" Leopold are the epitome of the 1920's "Flaming Youth" until they commit one of the most shocking crimes in U.S. history: the kidnap and killing of 14-year-old Bobby Franks -- in the quest of proving they are Nietzschean Supermen and committing the "perfect crime". The crime led to world-wide publicity and the infamous Trial of the Century with legal super star Clarence Darrow giving his most impassioned plea for mercy as their defense attorney. Over the years the boys' tale has been sensationalized -- but the dark truths behind the crime have never really been told...until now. Playwright Daniel Henning researched two years all across the country before writing this documentary play; exploring the hidden details of Leopold & Loeb's twisted relationship and the reasons behind their bizarre crime.
