Synopsis

In an effort to combat vault robberies, Mr. Rich has created a railroad-style MX Vault system which has two vaults moving along a circular railroad track fast enough for a crook to not be able to catch up to it, and one of the vaults is a decoy - with nothing inside, meaning the chances of the crook getting the decoy are 50%. However, one of the vaults jumped off the track and headed for a real railroad track which confused some passengers. Mr. Rich set the record straight, and resulted in the demise of the MX system. However, Richie has found a good use for the circular track in the end.

Characters

Richie Rich; Richard Rich, Sr.; Professor Keenbean

Synopsis

Keenbean invents magnetic-sensored brakes which are designed to prevent accidents, and would make car brakes obsolete. However, Keenbean overdoes it by putting these breaks on everything - including a belt and a jet plane - and Mr. Rich is getting tired of Keenbean's preoccupation and wants Keenbean to devote his time to other inventions for a change. Richie decides to put the brake idea to good use - an invisible sensor-magneto braking device wall which is designed to prevent employees from getting off work early and access to the exit doesn't activate until the shift ends.
