[edit] Plot

Ralph and Norton are in a bad situation when they witness two robbers shooting a security guard at the pool hall. Alice finds out about the situation after Ralph comes home trembling with fear. She tells Ralph to call the police to save them, but the two crooks enter the Kramden apartment and hold them hostage. A police officer comes to the door. The robbers take Alice into the bedroom and tell Ralph to send the police officer away or they will kill Alice. Just as the police officer leaves, Norton enters, and he is taken hostage. Alice and Norton are both tied up in chairs while Ralph must negotiate with the robbers before they are all killed. Ralph double-crosses the robbers and manages to release Alice and Norton and take the crooks to the police station.
