synopsis
While Mel (Vic Tayback) takes a snooze in the storeroom, Alice (Linda Lavin) is left alone to man (or woman) the counter on a Saturday night. Unfortunately, this is the same evening that the diner is visited by a nervous young man with a gun in his hand and larceny in his heart. The holdup man is placed by Steve Franken, best remembered as the pompous "Chatsworth Osborne Jr." on Dobie Gillis; and seen in the role of Milo is Jim Varney, several years before he gained national fame as his goonish alter ego "Ernest P. Worrall".
