Chippendales was a nightclub that aimed to allure and please women with its scantily clad male dancers and vivacious music, and quickly advanced toward a pop culture phenomenon, until it came crashing down. Through exclusive interviews, never-before-seen crime scene video and declassified FBI surveillance audio, the special unravels the hidden tale of how sex, jealousy, arson, hefty-bags filled with cash and mafia shakedowns all led up to one of the most outrageous murders in American history.
In the 1980s, Chippendales was a worldwide phenomenon; at the center of its meteoric growth are Steve Banerjee, who left India to live the American dream, and Nick De Noia, a children's television producer.
The bigger Chippendales gets, the more problems it faces, including mobsters, disgruntled dancers, churchgoers, and Nick De Noia and Steve Banerjee, the two masterminds behind the show who become obsessed with their fortunes.
The NYPD investigates multiple leads into the murder of Nick De Noia, and possible motives include a love triangle, insurance fraud, and an angry boss -- all of which lead nowhere; years later, the FBI gets a tip from a hit man named "Strawberry."
The FBI teams up with down-and-out actor Ray Colon who leads federal agents on an international manhunt for the man behind Nick De Noia's murder. However, even after the mystery is solved and the killer is behind bars, the show is far from over.
