- George investigates a series of bank pranks solo while Kate is laid up at home with a knee injury. However, while looking through her camera, Kate's neighbor is working -- of all things -- a bomb!
- While Kate Monday is at home recovering from a knee injury, George Frankly investigates a series of pranks pulled on local financial institutions. No money is stolen and no one is hurt, but the pranks, ranging from a power outage to foul-smelling rotten egg gas, result in customers leaving the bank and taking their money with them. While George is examining a series of poems describing the bank pranks, cabin fever-stricken Kate believes her neighbour, Raymond Sticker, is wiring his grandfather clock with explosives. George is skeptical of Kate's suspicions, assuring her that the suspected dynamite in the clock is actually harmless counterweights. George continues working on the case at hand, staking out one bank in the hopes of catching the prankster, only to fall victim to the latest prank, when a laughing gas bottle goes off in a wastebasket. Kate soon calls George again, believing to have spotted another bomb in her neighbour's apartment. Again, George proves her wrong, by visiting Mr. Sticker and returning with the "bomb", a handful of ordinary modelling clay. Kate then apologizes to George, only to soon thereafter spot a legitimate bomb, a story which George does not believe at first. Mr. Sticker is later discovered to have been the prankster, and that he is a disgruntled employee of the man who owns all the banks that were pranked. As Sticker is taken to jail, George races to Kate's apartment to diffuse the bomb planted there by Mr. Sticker, and does so just in time, saving Kate's life. Kate is put on crutches and returns to work the next day.
