- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: A steel-protected wages van screeches to a halt. Men with crowbars rush forward. It looks like a daring, daylight pay snatch until the driver gets out and locks the door. Then the ‘gang’ go into action with crowbars and oxy-acetelene burners just to prove the efficiency of two new anti-theft devices for a security firm.
