Description:  Tim wants to use Martin's CCTBS to go back to today's lunch hour. He missed the biggest news story of the year - a robbery of the Beaudelaire jewels, worth $2.5 million - and has been demoted to writing the obituaries, in his mind only one step above the unemployment line. Martin reluctantly agrees. Once back, Tim makes the big mistake of acting like he knows too much about an impending robbery. So after the real thieves come into the store and steal the jewels, Tim is accused of being their look-out man. In discussion with Det. Brennan, Tim accidentally implicates Martin as the mastermind. Tim also identifies the two real thieves - Slippery Sam and Roger the Rake - who the detective identifies as being currently behind bars. Martin goes undercover as a prisoner to find out how Sam and Roger pulled off the heist if they were supposed to be behind bars. After finding out how they escaped, Martin now has to get them to escape again so that Det. Brennan can catch them red-handed with the jewels.
