- SynopsisAn unexploded bomb scare is the excuse for a gang disguised as a disposal squad to try to rob the local bank. A bank robbery is planned by planting a bomb in a building site. This enables the gang to get the area cleared by the police and then, under guise of being a bomb disposal unit, to set to work on the safe. A runaway teenage couple, Mike and Jackie, who had been hiding nearby are caught by the gang who try to bribe them into complicity. Mike manages to fuse the generator operating the time lock on the safe which forces the gang to blow the lock and get away, leaving Mike and Jackie behind. Jackie phones the police and Mike chases them on his motorbike. He crashes but has put the police on the scent and will get a reward. (Synopsis)
