Christmas is coming, and the staff of a branch of the Colonial Bank of a city are busy and waiting for the holiday. The head of the bank, Fowlds (Peter Kosin Peter Cushing), is a serious and stodgy man who treats his subordinates and even his family harshly. This morning, Fowlds welcomes an uninvited guest who claims to be an official of the Family and career Insurance Company, known as Colonel Hepburn (Andre Morrell Andr é Morell). Fowlds was respectful to him lest he should disobey the serious and flamboyant official. But he soon learned that Hepburn turned out to be a bank thief. Hepburn appears to have kidnapped Fowlds's wife and children and threatened Fowlds with their lives to hand over the bank's existing $97, 000. In order to protect his wife and children, Fowlds, who had always been arrogant, bowed his head and became Hepburn's accomplice.
