The magic is mighty flat this time as Mac McGoniggle's substitution of paper towels (from the ladies' room of a highway gas station) for bank bonds thwarts a bank worker's plan to steal them in a hijacking staged by the crook's cronies. Mac, his do-nothing sidekick Ken Wetzel, Sam the gas station man, and a lady who stopped for the w.c. are last seen zipping toward the nearest exit in search of the cops. Meanwhile the crooks, having found the bonds devalued indeed, head back the other way on the divided highway. Non-negotiable.
