Twice Tempted

by William Manchee

A promising college student is tempted by a beautiful woman and millions of dollars in an open bank vault. Fred Fuller is a poor but ambitious college student with dreams of a future in politics. He sees himself as being an honest and moral person but when confronted with the chance of a lifetime, not once . . . but twice, he discovers the shallowness of his morality. While on his job as a messenger for Bank USA he goes into a deserted bank and is confronted by an open vault filled with millions of dollars. The first time, unprepared to take advantage of the situation, he calls his boss to report it. But when it happens again Fred's moral values are shattered as he takes the money and attempts to flea the country. By a vicious twist of fate the bank's cashier is found dead at the scene of the crime and when Fred is caught he is put on trial for murder.
