A bank is robbed and surveillance video implicates George Frankly! Can mathematics prove George's innocence?

George and Kate investigate reports of stolen trucks full of dirt. Although all the trucks have been returned, the dirt is gone. They suspect that a million dollars worth of stolen money was buried in the dirt.

In a clever spoof of The Maltese Falcon, Maureen O'Riley puts a valuable bird sculpture from Malta on display at a museum, but it disappears without a trace and it's up to Mathnet find the truth.
