- Narrator: Although any breach of law and order is the subject of immediate and vigorous action on the part of the Highway Patrol, a special target of any law enforcement agency is the criminal who has escaped detection over a long period of time. Such a case occurred on September 9th, when a holdup by a man identified only as "the polka-dot bandit" climaxed a series of unsolved crimes. After four weeks of intensive investigation, there was still no clue to the elusive criminal.

- Debbie Tobin: What are you doing to my daddy? It was just a game. I was playing bandit, and Daddy taught me to hide in the car when I saw you drive up the first time, so I wouldn't get caught. Daddy, tell them it was only a game.
- Keith Tobin: [to Mathews] Please, can we go now?
- Dan Mathews: Take 'im away.
