Plunder Road Page #4

Fill it up, will you?

Don't get many trucks nowadays

since the new highway's in.

They, uh, caught those robbers yet?

No...I don't know.

They'll catch them.

How's that?

Can't help but catch them.

Fellas like that hardly

have a chance nowadays...

...with radio and all that

science against them.

- You think so, huh?

- Ah, sure.

Now back a few years ago, it was

different. A man had a real chance.

Nowadays, everything's got a system

that's pretty hard to beat.

I don't know.

I still think it's possible.

That's the way to talk. Don't let

an old codger like me get you down.

Yes sir, I can remember when

I was a young buck like you...

Oh, it'll take 25 or 30

gallons. It's almost empty.

Yes sir, there are all

sorts of opportunity.

That was my mistake: there's

too much opportunity!

Now, if when I'd have been your age, I'd

have hitched onto one single thing...

...and stuck to it -- heh -- there's

no telling where I'd be today.

Y'know, that's what I'm planning to do.

I figure that if a guy is going to

make it, he's got to specialize.

He's got to find one thing and

stick to it, no matter what.

That's the spirit.

How's the oil?

I'll check.

No sir, that...that don't

mean nothing to me.

Had to.

Look, the Canadian border is only 500

miles from here. New York is 2000.

Right. So the cops figured

they'd head for the border.

I say they're smarter than that.

I say they're headed for New York.

Well, you'll see.

What would you like?

A couple of ham sandwiches

and two coffees to go. Black.

White or rye?

White.

You come through any roadblocks yet?

- Any what?

- Roadblocks. You know, the gold robbery.

Oh ... no, not yet.

You know? I'd like to see

them get away with it.

You've got to watch her, mister.

She's got a criminal mind.

What would you do with

all that loot, Hazel?

Go to London and Paris.

Get the best of everything.

Me, I'd build me the fastest job on the

road. About 4 inches off the ground...

...4 pots, chrome heads, 3/4-inch cam.

That'd feed the cops a lot of smoke huh?

We now take you to Salt Lake City, where

our special correspondent John Oliver...

...is standing by with further

information on the gold train robbery.

The grim shadow of murder may have

fallen over the desperate flight of...

...the gold thieves tonight. Less than

an hour ago, a passing motorist...

...discovered the body of an elderly

gas station attendant, shot to death...

...near Lynn, Nevada. Police ruled

out robbery as a motive when...

...the victim's wallet and the money

in the cash drawer were found untouched.

An unusually large sale was still

registered on the gas pump...

...leading the authorities
