Synopsis for "Nightstick"
Thomas Farraday is a patrolman having Christmas dinner with his family. They eat an early meal because Farraday has to go on duty that afternoon. His father and grandfather had both been policemen and they both give him the same advice to carry his nightstick. Farraday takes their advice lightly reiterating that modern police use tools such as teletypes, radio cars and short wave radios. He nevertheless agrees to carry the stick to appease his relatives. He proceeds to go on patrol on Christmas Eve and arrives at a small jewelry store with suspicious activity. He spots a group of men that immediately start to fire at him and shoot Farraday in the arm. Even though he has been shot, Farraday manages to climb into the back of the get away truck to pursue the thieves to their hideout. They arrive in the backstreets of the garment district and Farraday finds himself unarmed with nothing but his nightstick. He charges at the group of thieves as they disembark from the truck and takes them by surprise. He then strikes another thief as he is about to fire his gun straight at Farraday. He swings his nightstick furiously taking out every single assailant. Farraday gets knocked to the ground and he is about to be shot once more but he throws his nightstick at the shooter and breaks a store window. Farraday passes out but when he comes to he is surrounded by police. His nightstick had set off an alarm when it broke the store window and the police had responded to apprehend the thieves. The evening ends with Farrady surrounded by his family describing how he took out the thieves with the old flank attack.
