Synopsis

A pair of crooks try to find out from Algy Aitch how he gets the ideas for robberies used in his detective novels. He will only reveal that, for the sake of authenticity, he and a pair of confederates enact each robbery before it is committed to print.

Terry spies the "robbery" in progress and (as Mr. Terrific) foils the plan.
