He is best known in the Kansas City area for robbing the Metcalf State Bank which lead to a Western Style gunfight at the Heatherwood Apartment Complex where he killed a law enforcement officer and was seriously injured himself. Brown was next in line to be hanged at the Kansas State Penitentiary in Lansing, Kansas after Richard "Dick" Hickock and Perry Smith who brutally murdered the Clutter family of Holcomb Kansas becoming the subjects of IN COLD BLOOD written by Truman Capote. Brown was also a member of a revolutionary group that stockpiled money from robberies to purchase weapons and ammunition for a future revolution. Historian Michael Helm has joined the film as has retired officer Harley Sparks who shot Brown following the robbery of the Metcalf State Bank on January 19, 1968.
