In a small room on the third floor of a boarding house, tough-guy Artie Flegg forces young Jimmy Crawley to agree, very reluctantly, to deliver a package. Meanwhile, Lt. Ballinger has a building staked-out in hopes to capture Artie and his partner Sam who are wanted for a recent bank robbery. As it happens, this is Jimmy's destination. As he walks up the front steps, he sees Frank approach from across the street. Already nervous, he panics, drops the package and speeds off in his car. Upon opening the package, Frank discovers the bonds stolen from the bank. Tracking the plate on the fleeing car leads M Squad to Jimmy, who identifies the boarding house. When Lt. Ballinger and Capt. Grey arrive, the owner of the house, Peggy Hanson, escorts the pair on a search of the premises. There is no sign of the robbers or even the room described by Jimmy. This case has run into a solid wall, but the investigation continues.
