Plot summary
A masked man recruits Peter Harris, Boyd Kane and Tony Romano for a robbery, interviewing each of them in disguise so that none can identify him. He has timed an armored car pickup from a bank and has the gang drive a duplicate of the flower truck that deliveryman Joe Rolfe takes on his rounds. The robbers, masked as well, overcome the armored car crew and flee with the money. Their leader hands each of them a torn playing card, to be shown to whoever he sends if he cannot reach them himself. Police arrest Rolfe and press him for a confession. They release him once his alibi holds and the vehicle used in the robbery is found, but he has lost his job and sets out to find the criminals.
