Picture this: Santa Claus walks into a small town Texas bank on December 23, 1927. The ensuing robbery is one of Texas' most infamous crimes, having invoked the largest manhunt ever seen in the state. Eyewitness Boyce House wrote that this actual event included "the most spectacular crimes in the history of the southwest... surpassing any in which Billy the Kid, or The James Boys had ever figured out."
