Durango Colorado 1973ish. My dad's boss Randy's construction biz is wiped out by the IRS. He forgot to pay taxes. Sad, mad, and drunk, Randy phone's in a bomb threat to the local Bank. "Put alot of money in the trash can in the park or ill blow up the Bank !" The Bank ACTUALLY puts ALOT of money in the trash can. The police went to the park to nab him getting the money. They went to the wrong park. Randy walks the the two blocks from the El Rancho Bar (where he'd called from) and gets his money. Back the Rancho, puts his sack on a stool and buys a round for the house. The bartender, tipped off by thousands of dollars in a paper sack, uses the same pay phone to call the police. Randy goes to prison. Years later he gets out and robs a supermarket payroll or something like that. The Lady prosecutor falls for Randy. A good lookin character. She maneuvers a light sentence. Randy gets out, marries the prosecutor, lives happily until a ripe old age.
