Mr. Reed assigns Stanley to assume the identity of famous escape artist "Slippery Sloan" and gain the confidence of bank robber Blackjack Clayton (Richard X. Slattery). Once becoming his cellmate, he is to help Blackjack escape and be led to the missing $2,000,000 from Blackjack's last job. The plan begins to work, offering "Slippery" $100,000 to help him escape. Meanwhile, Hal hasn't seen Stanley in 12 hours and goes to the police and newspapers. Blackjack leads Stanley to a remote cabin where his girl Margo (Joyce Van Patten, "Grown Ups") and associates Dawson (Chuck Roberson) and Rogers (Cane Hoy) are, as well as the hidden money. A poker game is held where Stanley is made to put up and lose his ring that contained the Power Pills. In the five years he's been imprisoned a number of other pine trees have popped up like the one he buried the money under. A trailing Mr. Reed and Mr. Trent are captured by Blackjack. In picking up their groceries and the newspaper, Stanley finds his picture in the paper- placed by Hal. He tries to keep it from Blackjack, hopeful he can find a way to regain the ring and his power.
