To examine the featured superstition, we visit inmates in jail. One of them tells how itchy palms may mean money is about to come your way, but for him it meant time in jail.
It was his girlfriend with the itchy palms, and she convinced him to hold up a jewelry store. Diamonds are as good as money to her, and without any fore thought, he complied. Posing as an upper class couple, they visit the store when nobody else is shopping.
