Willy Sutton was a bank robber and escape artist who broke out of jail several times. Sutton fooled his victims by wearing the uniform of a bank guard. He would dress up as a little old lady too, hiding a sawed-off-shotgun under his petticoat. In gangland folklore Sutton became known as "Willie the Actor." Well, Willie the Actor would soon play his last roll. One day, on his way to a robbery, he was caught by accident when his car battery went dead . . .
The cop thought he was doing the old lady a favour. In fact if he had seen a man under the hood of that old Buick he wouldn't have stopped at all. Like a good boy scout the cop was determined to help that old lady no matter what. The only problem was that this particular little old lady was wanted in ten states clear across the country, and had a shot gun strapped to her waist instead of garters. And if that particular weapon had not fallen from under her dress, going off, and shooting a hole through the radiator, Willy would never have been arrested in the first place: apparently Willy reminded the cop of his mother.
