Honor Among Thieves

A bunch of elderly guys steal money from the town bank so they can pay for their buddy's funeral, but then they feel bad about what they did and don't know what to do with all the cash.

Septuagenarians Teach and Sweets, tired of the desperation of living from pension check to pension check, convince Wally to go along with their plan to rob a bank. The three cronies miraculously make off with the loot. But Wally’s wife Sarah sees them counting it and wants to give it back. The gang agrees and now has to pull off the robbery in reverse.

In order to give their friend a proper funeral, a group of old men rob the local bank. They are unsure of what to do with the money on hand when they become plagued by their guilty conscience.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
