When the crooks arrive, Slam fights them, but he is defeated. While Slam and Shorty are tied up by the crooks, Slam gives the crooks a location where they could commit another robbery. After the gang leaves, Slam frees himself and Shorty. Then then head to the address which Slam provided. Inside are a group of WAACs who are ready for a fight. The crooks are defeated, and Slam donates the reward for their capture to the war effort.
