Suspense (CBS) Christmas For Carole, Dennis Day. 501221

A man desperate for cash has reached the point of being willing to do anything. Dennis Day is a bank clerk with a wife in need of great medical expense in delivering their first child. To get the assistance they need, will cost more than he makes each month.

Should he go into business with a friend? Though that will give him the kind of money he needs, he isn’t looking forward to a lifestyle of being raided by the cops, or carrying a police record. Just a one shot at big money is all he needs, if there is such a thing.

When a long time customer at the bank withdraws his life savings, the temptation is too much. Calling on favors to contact a big time thug, a plan is made to burglarize the elderly man’s home. The job goes down without a hitch.

But twists enter the picture. The thug wants more. Can the robbery be undone? Is there really such a thing as only a one shot crime? When the job ends up with no cash in hand, how will our hero hope to cover those medical expenses, or be out from under the control of the gangster? There’s still enough twists to turn the dire situation around for a Christmas of hope.
