It May Happen to You

It's another episode of MGM's "Crime Does Not Pay" series. Moxie and his gangsters hijack trucks on the highway and his crime partner Sheafor fences the stolen goods. In their latest hijacking, the cops show up and Moxie barely escapes. He figures a smarter way to steal. He recruits a money-hungry driver named Eddie who works at a meat packing plant. They steal a load of beef, but the meat is bad.

This is a pretty good episode. It has the advantage of being relatively realistic except the climatic gunfight. The action is laughably old school stiffness and not up to modern standards, but the story is pretty much there.
