    Synopsis


    A bank clerk gains telepathic powers after making a coin stand on its edge. Able to read other people's thoughts - he is surprised to hear what people are thinking. Eventually he uncovers an apparent plot to steal money from the bank he is working for. The plot proves to be disproved - the veteran bank employee admits he was thinking about stealing money, but would never go through with such a plan. After work, the bank clerk returns home and inadvertantly knocks down the coin he stood up earlier and to his relief, is unable to read minds anymore.
