Sabrina, Jill and Kelly con a compulsive gambler out of his money in order to trap him in his usual burglary method of replenishing his gambling stakes in “The Big Tap Out,” on “Charlie’s Angels.” When notorious gambler-thief, Roy David is suspected of burglarizing a securities company of $40,000 to replenish his gambling money, Charlie’s Angels are called into the case to obtain the necessary evidence to convict him of the crime. Sabrina and Bosley dupe the gambler into betting nearly half of the loot on a losing horse at the race track. Jill then takes over the scheme at the gambling tables to cheat him out of his remaining money. With David penniless and in desperate need of renewed gambling stakes, the Angels make it easy for him to follow his usual burglary pattern. In front of startled eyes, they carefully, stage a hit-and-run accident in which Jill is apparently killed with detailed floor plans and safe combinations to the casino in her possession. David, of course, steals the plans and immediately sets up a burglary. When David tries to make his getaway from the casino with the stolen money, Kelly stops his escape by ramming her car into the back of his, thereby causing a great commotion into which the police are summoned. On the scene, police discover the cache of stolen money inside David’s car, and his gambling days are over. Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith star as the Angels, Sabrina, Jill and Kelly, respectively, who work for Charlie, an unseen and very sophisticated boss who phones in their instructions. David Doyle stars as Bosley, Charlie’s harried assistant.
