To eliminate any witnesses to their escape, the trio assault a skin-diver, leaving him for dead. When the diver is found alive, he provides the Highway Patrol with the clue they needs to link the bank robbers to the assault. The police set a trap for the robbers, using information from previous crimes. Two children playing in the sand, are in harm's way when the bandits and police both close in on the beach.

The body of the forest ranger, who'd been murdered, is found nearby. Their investigation reveals that the plane is owned by a racketeer. When Matthews and Barney find the crook, they discover another murder that is tied to the ranger's death.
