In this second episode of the six-part series documenting the life and crimes of the marijuana smuggler kingpin Jimmy Chagra, Gary interviews one of Chagra’s low-level smugglers. Kermit Schweidel tells about the famous Folly Cove operation.

After an adventurous trip up the Atlantic Coast, they arrive off the Massachuttas coast at Folly Cove.
