synopsis
Much to the embarrassment of Officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner), their stakeout of a savings and loan comes a-cropper when the place is robbed right under their noses. Worse still, the thieves manage to smuggle in tear gas and make their escape without interference. Eddie Quillan appears in this episode as the ubiquitous snitch TeeJay, a role previously essayed by Robert Donner, while future M*A*S*H costar Larry Linville plays Reed and Malloy's exasperated superior officer.
