With no customers in the store, Artie pulls his .38-caliber pistol and points it at the clerk’s head. "Gimme the money and nobody gets hurt," says Artie.

The clerk, Sue Ellen, is terrified. "Please, I’m only a part-timer."

Artie laughs as he waves the gun in her face. "Just give it up, lady, and you won’t get hurt."

Sue Ellen opens the cash register and hands over the money — about $45. Artie leaves the store, taking a long way back home in case he’s followed. But by the time police arrive at the store the trail is cold. They check for prints and Sue Ellen promises to come down to police headquarters and describe the robber to the police sketch artist.

Later, back at his apartment, Artie calls the radio station for the weather forecast. Unaware that he’s dialed the wrong number, Artie is startled when a disc jockey comes on the phone line saying, "Congratulations, you’re our ninth caller — you win an all expense paid cruise to Cozumel." For a few minutes Artie and the radio announcer talk about all the fun Artie is going to have on his cruise.

Meanwhile, across town, Sue Ellen is listening to the same radio station and hears a familiar voice. "It’s the guy with the gun!" she’s thinking, "the guy that robbed me."

Just about that time the jock tells Artie to "leave your name and phone number with my producer and you can come by the station and pick up your prize."

It takes time, but Sue Ellen finally convinces the cops that the guy on the radio was the one who robbed her. Police set up a stake-out during the time radio station officials say the prize winner is expected at the station.

Artie, of course, has a major surprise waiting for him when comes to claim his prize at the radio station. All he really wants to know from the cops is, "Where the heck is Cozumel?"
