THE STORY OF THE BANK ROBBERY… Carlos and Jason plan to rob the First National Bank. They need the money to pay their bills. They do not want to injure anyone so Jason gets a high- powered water gun. He plans to keep the gun in his coat so that its shape will frighten the bank teller. Carlos volunteers to drive the getaway car, a new yellow Ford truck. They plan the robbery at a time when the bank has few customers. Just before leaving to rob the bank, Jason gets a call from his girlfriend, Kathy. Now they are late. Carlos makes up for lost time by speeding and running red lights. Unfortunately, they hit a woman in a crosswalk and don’t stop to help her. The woman later dies. At the bank, Jason notices that the water gun has leaked, soaking the front of his coat. They consider calling off the robbery but decide to go ahead. Everything goes smoothly until the teller sets off the alarm as Jason runs from the bank.

MORE BANK ROBBERY STORY… Thinking quickly, Carlos and Jason leave their car and jump into a new Corvette. (The owner carelessly left the keys in the car.)

With the water gun and the money from the bank robbery, Carlos and Jason walk toward Kathy’s house. As they cross the street, they ignore a “Dont’ Walk” sign. A police officer stops them, sees the money and the gun, and arrests them.
