Episode 4: The Teapot Dome Scandal

When the United States wants to increase its military presence at Pearl Harbour in Hawaii, a lucrative deal worth millions presents itself to Doheny thanks to an old friend from his Wild West prospecting days

But when other oil suppliers get wind of the secretive deal, an investigation is launched. It soon uncovers explosive allegations that Doheny sent his son Ned and secretary Hugh Plunkett to bribe a top government official with $100,000.
