A slight name change for this series to A Crime Does Not Pay Subject and no longer are the entries numbered. Allan Saunders is a bitter young man. He graduated at the top of his engineering class but now has a low paying job in an electronics company and his supervisor is a man who graduated at the bottom of the same class. A crook convinces him to help him in robberies because of his knowledge of alarm systems. Allan soon becomes very hardened and then shoots a man putting up a movie poster because the man got a good look at him. The best part of the episode is the bit about television. It was Allan who developed a workable screen for the television. It was the owner of the electronics firm who told him it just wasn't practical. But later the owner tells a group of people watching a demonstration of television that "In the future, television will be as familiar to you as the radio." That was a pretty good prediction for 1936. The way the cops catch Allan was pretty nifty and plausible.
