Synopsis:
Bobo opens a bank account to deposit his weekly salary. When making a deposit he notices that the teller has made a mistake in calculating his balance. Bobo remains in the bank while the sheriff leaves. Then Bobo discovers that a gang is robbing the bank. Bobo follows the crooks, then attempts to call the sheriff for help.

The crooks spot Bobo and lock him in their garage. He starts their car and smashes through the garage door. The door falls on the crooks, pinning them to the ground. The bank robbers are then arrested. The bank rewards Bobo for the capture. The teller explains that he miscalculated Bobo's balance on purpose to alert him to the robbery.
