SYNOPSIS 
  
Tim, having missed a great robbery news story, is demoted
to writing obituaries. To redeem himself, he asks Martin if he
could use his time machine to go back to the moment of the
robbery for a second chance to cover the news break. 
 
But at the scene of the crime, Tim is mistakenly arrested as
one of the holdup men. To clear Tim, Martin must now make 
himself a con and share a cell with the two men whom Martin 
knows did the deed. He discovers that they escaped through
a loose block in the cell floor and therefore had a perfect alibi 
and the only way Martin can get the goods on them is to force
them into making a prison break so that Brennan can actually 
trap them holding the loot. This Martin accomplishes,but Tim 
has flubbed a Pulitzer Prize-type photo of the crooks and the 
gems. Alas, he forgot to put film in the camera. For missing 
such a great picture-story, he is once more back on obituaries.
