A man claiming to be a writer arrives at a bank and meets with the president. He tells him that he's writing a story and investigating the case of Arnold Mathias...and that Mathias had been killed while trying to escape from prison. The president then recounts the story of Mathias and how he was accused of stealing $200,000 from the bank...though none of the money was ever recovered and Mathias proclaimed his innocence...and the case against him seemed unclear.
This is a rather uneven episode. It is a bit talky but it also suffers from a twist that is somewhat obvious early in the episode. Still, it is interesting, though a bit telegraphed.
By the way, the idea of stealing $200,000 also occurred in a different season five episode, "Not the Running Type"....though the writers of the two episodes were different.
