Synopsis:
Slam and Shorty witness a jewel heist. They are unable to stop the crooks from escaping. However, they do recover a camera which the crooks tried to steal from a photographer. Slam believes that the photographer snapped a photo of the crooks which could identify them. He and Shorty head for the photography studio to get the picture developed. The crooks strike at the studio, leading to a chase, and eventually their capture. After the crooks are taken into custody, the photo is finally developed. It suffered from double exposure and would not have helped to identify the crooks after all.
