AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A bank night watchman accustomed to sleeping for the 20 minute intervals between sending the required signals to the police station is surprised one night by three buglars. A sham dentist from the room upstairs and two companions drill the vault door for hours and send the signals regularly but are undone - 2 killed - by their own explosives. The watchman refuses the bribe offered by the last burglar - but is eventually fired anyway. (PB)
