Synopsis A befuddled woman asks a passerby for directions. The stranger threatens her and demands her purse and wedding ring. As she hands over her possessions, she recognizes her assailant as an old friend from high school. She invites the mugger to grab a cup of coffee and catch up on old times. Weapon and stolen purse still in hand, the robber agrees to the reunion and quips that her victim will be buying.
