In the 1920's Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold were two upper class lovers that had a fondness for Neitzsche. They were fascinated by the concept of "Ubermensch". They decided to put the theory of Ubermensch into practice by committing the perfect crime- kidnapping, sodomizing and killing a neighbourhood boy. Leopold left his glasses by the body, making it effortless for the police to capture him. In jail he ended up mastering 27 languages. Loeb was killed in a razor fight during his stay. Though Leopold claimed to still be in love with Loeb he married a woman on his release.
