Classic comedy crime caper. Newly released from jail, Charlie Croker discovers that he has 'inherited' a brilliant plan for a bullion robbery in Italy.
Aided and abetted by an imprisoned mastermind, the scheme calls for him to engineer the biggest traffic jam in history in order to steal the gold. All he has to do is overcome a few obstacles - such as a lack of money, not having a gang, and the wrath of the local Mafia.
