THE MONEY TRAP It starts with a break-in. Detective Joe Baron and his partner, Pete Delanos, interview a Dr. Pantell who has just shot a man he found breaking into his office. Before he dies, the thief confesses that he was there to rob the safe, which though now empty, had earlier held at least a million dollars. So right away, Baron and Delanos know that something here is screwy. And then there's the thief's girlfriend who claims that Pantell set him up for the killing. Convinced that Dr. Pantell is not what he seems and that the cash in the safe is drug money, he and Delanos set about a robbery of their own. If only things had stayed that simple.... LOVE TRAP What would you do if you were an aspiring architect, more or less happily married, and working for two guys who had made their fortune on your designs? You resent the hell out of them, but don't want to quit. And one day you overhear a plot to rob the business on payroll day. Would you warn your two bosses? Call the cops? Tell your wife? Harold Wilkenson doesn't do any of these things. He doesn't feel he owes the business a thing. But on the day of the robbery he's dragged along by his boss to deliver the payroll cash. There is a crash, a stickup, guns fired. Harold wakes up in the hospital. Now what can he do? If he confesses that he knew about the heist, he'll be arrested. If he rats on the thieves, they'll kill him. Quite a trap...

But surely the scorned Olive’s fury will ensure their love is doomed before it can blossom.
