A man is sent out to pick up some milk by his wife. He is told not to go to a particular store because he always ends up spending too much time there. Of course, he goes where he shouldn’t and visits with the grocer and is there when an armed robber comes in and guns down the proprietor. He is left alive and is able to provide a clear and vivid description of the perpetrator to the police, much to his wife’s annoyance feeling that now he may be a target for fingering the criminal. She is right, and the mother of the killer approaches the man in her role as both mob leader and mother of the accused.
