That's when the parole officer tells him there's a way out--that he should pay him $1000 a week, and he doesn't care how he gets it. When McCormick and Hardcastle go to play cards with some other judges, the guy robs them and McCormick knows he did it. Later McCormick tells Hardcastle about his friend and that he has been staying with him. When they go home they discover that they've been robbed. McCormick knows that his friend wouldn't have done it unless he had a good reason. They go see the parole officer and McCormick gets a weird vibe off the guy and notices he has something that looks like something that was at Hardcastle's. Later one the judges who was robbed issues a warrant for McCormick because he found out who robbed them and his link to McCormick. So Hardcastle has to try and prove McCormick's innocence or he'll go back to prison a three time loser. Written by rcs0411@yahoo.com See less
