They Set Bumpy Johnson ON FIRE in His Car—What He Did With BURNED HANDS Shocked the Mob

Описание: They thought burning him alive would end it. They were wrong.

In March 1938, Italian mobsters set Harlem crime boss Bumpy Johnson on FIRE inside his car, leaving him with horrific burns on his hands and body. They expected him to die—or at least disappear. Instead, less than 12 hours later, Bumpy walked into the Cotton Club with bandaged, bleeding hands and declared war on the entire mob.

What happened next became one of the most legendary revenge stories in American crime history.

This is the TRUE story of Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson—the man who survived being burned alive, took down two mob enforcers with his bare hands, and forced Lucky Luciano's organization to retreat from Harlem forever.


This documentary explores one of the most dramatic episodes in Harlem's criminal history—a story of survival, strategic genius, and a man who refused to be intimidated even when set on fire.

If you're fascinated by true crime history, mob stories, and tales of legendary figures like Bumpy Johnson, Stephanie St. Clair, Lucky Luciano, and the Italian-American Mafia, this is a must-watch.
