A hotel clerk steals one hundred thousand dollars from a diamond merchant and rents a safe deposit box years in advance under the name 'Brad Gilbert'.

When he goes to open the box, he finds he's drawing a blank on the name he used. They go to a bar and she berates his inability to recall the name. His temper flares and he slashes her face with a steak knife. He heads to the roof as the police close in on him and threatens to jump.

As he lies dying on the pavement, he sees the remaining neon letters spell out 'Brad Gilbert'.
