A game of cat and mouse...

Or maybe cat and louse.

A man and his wife hold up a gas station, but the owner fights back and the robber shoots the owner in a panic. On the way back to the car the robber bumps into a customer who sees the car and the robber but doesn't get the license plate.

Meanwhile the robbers make it back to their house. This was their first armed robbery, it went bad, and unlike the more hardened characters you meet on Highway Patrol, these two are scared. The guy decides to ask his brother to put the car through his auto press at his wrecking yard. But then there is the tricky business of getting the car from the robbers' garage to the auto press. Complications ensue.

It's good TV watching Matthews and the Highway Patrol reason through what could have happened to the getaway car, and I couldn't help feel for the robber's brother who knew that he was breaking the law by helping his brother, yet didn't want to see him get the death penalty. The same thing for the robber's wife. She married a loser. If she hadn't she'd have probably never even come close to breaking the law.
