If the ignition on my neighbor's car can cause interference on my hi-fi and TV, think of the electronic havoc that would be wrought in a city full of cars powered by electricity.

Diabolic purists who love crime for crime's sake, the three want a fall guy to take the rap on a diamond heist. When the circumstantial evidence is finally planted on the waiter, he bursts into hysterical laughter and ardently proclaims his guilt, as if escaping years of nonentity in a moment of wicked splendor...
