Trapdoors

Rick and AJ are hired to help a bank manager find a kid who broke into the bank computer. He doesn't want to contact the FBI as they will arrest the boy and he feels that he should be warned not to do it, but he also wants to know how the boy does it. The truth is the manager wants to use the kid to steal even more money.

Quite a good episode with a smart kid attracting a greedy bank manager to reap millions, but he didn't contend with Simon and Simon knocking on his door. It has a well-staged plot, neatly ends at a cliff overlooking the sea - the scenery is great as usual. Computers were getting big in the early 80's but of course they are prehistoric compared to the newer models these days.
