Synopsis by Cammila Collar

This documentary from the History channel chronicles the bizarre history of President Lincoln's body - which was moved, stolen, and disturbed several times following his burial in 1866, until it was finally moved to a steel and concrete reinforced tomb several years later. Particularly, the program examines a group of Chicago counterfeiters, who plotted to steal the corpse and hold it for $200,000 ransom.
