A bank robber who thinks he can foresee the future brings about his own capture when he foresees the train he is on being in a wreck and pulls the emergency cord to exit. Since he stopped the train while it was on the tracks, it is indeed struck by another train and he gets clipped by a flying piece of debris which gives the authorities time to catch up and apprehend him.
