Duty vs Gratitude and the Burglary in a West-Side Safe
A tale of two indomitable mechanics Jerry and Pete, driven to burglary by hardship, rescue a bookkeeper trapped inside a city safe. The bookkeeper, grateful, vows to defend their case with legal aid and support as authorities break in. The narrative shifts through varied vignettes on nature and society, ending with brief notes on katydids and a mourner’s grave mercy.
