The bank examiner is scheduled to arrive at the Pewter Bank when the bank comptroller Julius Taggart (Ned Beatty) informs bank officers Jack Stutz and Manny Benchley (Burgess Meredith and Richard Basehart) that someone has embezzled $100,000. The embezzler turns out to be the chief clerk Richard Smedley (Paul Sand), and he claims that he did it to point out a flaw in the bank's bookkeeping. When the bank officials come up with a scheme to rob the bank in order to cover up the embezzlement, more than a few complications ensue involving not only the bank officers but pillars of the community as well.
