| Dr. Know was returning late one night from a hunting trip
when the headlights of his car shone upon a sedan parked across the country road. He
swerved onto the shoulder to avoid a collision and braked to a stop as two of his tires
blew. Suddenly four masked men appeared. They relieved him of his money and
sped off in the sedan leaving Dr. Know with two flat tires. "A neat little
caper," muttered the sleuth, playing his flashlight over the scattering of razor
sharp nails that caused the two flats. Tramping to a farmhouse Dr. Know told the farmer
who answered his knocking, "I was just robbed about a mile down the road.
I’ll need a new tire. Can you get someone to help me?" "Come
in," the farmer invited, "I’ll telephone some people in town. Make
yourself comfortable." The farmer disappeared into the kitchen. Dr. Know
heard the farmer speak over the telephone to the sheriff and then to a man at the service
station. "The sheriff and a new tire are on the way here," the farmer
said, emerging from the kitchen.
An hour later Dr. Know was recounting the details of the holdup to the sheriff while a
serviceman put on his spare and the new tire which the farmer had requested. Then,
upon Dr. Know’s recommendation, the sheriff arrested the farmer for being involved in
the holdup.
