The Line Up -- Be-Bop Bandits Bungling Bang-Bang
Ben is sent to investigate a very violent bank robbery where several victims have been killed and those who survived are all in a state of shock. As he pieces together the story he learns that three men dressed in identical business suits and wearing real looking identical masks entered the bank with sub-machine guns. The men almost immediately started shooting.
The guard explains he shot back but didn't think he hit any of them. When a blood trail is spotted outside, however, the police follow it into a city underground tunnel where they find one of the thieves dead. His death, the detectives deduce, was not caused by bullets from the guard, but rather came from a machine gun.
