This is a documentary about a massive case of embezzlement that was committed by one city employee, Rita Crundwell, against the City of Dixon, IL. Dixon, IL is best known as the hometown of Ronald Reagan. Rita Crundwell was the city's Treasurer and comptroller. She handled all of the city's financial transactions. She stole more than $53 million from the city over the course of 20 years. A large chunk of that money went into funding her horse breeding operation.

The fraud was only discovered by chance when another city employee got a hold of a bank statement for a bank account that on paper belonged to the city but was used by Rita Crundwell as a conduit for her embezzlement activities.
