In "A Coffin for Mr. Cash," the supervisor of a crematorium becomes involved in an intricate plan to steal a fortune.
Pete Wilson is the night supervisor of the Lakeside Municipal Crematorium. On one particularly dark and stormy night, Pete receives a visit from Al Thomas. Not too long ago Pete and Al used to share a cell, but now they share a drink while Al explains his visit. He wants Pete to go in with him on a heist, and all Pete has to do is drive a horse.
Pete agrees to the arrangement, primarily because he can't think of a way to get out of it. Al's target is the Dollar Delivery Company, through which payroll funds are delivered by armored cars onThursdays. Al's plan is to steal the money from the delivery company, but not directly. Pete and Al will be robbing the gang that is planning to rob the Dollar Delivery Company next Thursday.
