The Vault $aUnited States :$bPro-Distributors Publishing Company, $c1922. Roger Frank and Sue Clark "The Vault" by Murray Leinster is a short story written in the early 20th century, likely during the 1920s. This crime fiction tale revolves around a heist set in a jewelry and watch manufacturing plant, exploring themes of deception, betrayal, and the thrilling tension of a burglary in progress. The narrative follows an intruder's unexpected encounter with a bound man and the unfolding revelation of a nefarious plot that complicates what was initially intended to be a simple robbery. The story introduces Mike, a skilled burglar who breaks into the Whitney Jewelry & Watch Company, only to discover a man named Jack, tied up and helpless, in the vault room. Soon, Mike learns that Jack's boss, Saunders, is plotting to rob the company using Jack as a scapegoat to cover his crimes. Tension escalates as Mike overhears Saunders's plan to trap Jack in the vault, leading to a life-or-death situation for both men. In a frantic moment of panic, Mike inadvertently activates a switch that seals Saunders inside the vault, leaving him to face the consequences of his treachery. The story concludes with Mike escaping with part of the payroll, reflecting on the chaotic chain of events and the unexpected outcomes of the night's events.
