β¦ Synopsis
...It tells in hardly more than two thousand words of the careful plan that grocery clerk John Hogan hatches to rob the local bank in an industrial community during Labor Day weekend, 1955. While Hogan perfects his plan, his children John and Joan enter the W. R. Hearst "I Love Americaβ essay contest. Saturday morning Hogan quickly and quietly carries out his scheme and successfully steals eight thousand three hundred and twenty dollars, which he hidesβironicallyβin the leather case that holds his Knight Templar's uniform. From the loot, he extracts for immediate use only two five-dollar bills, which he gives to his son, who has won βhonorable mentionβ in the Hearst contest, and his daughter, for being a βgood sportβ when she did not win.
