A bored bank manager plans an elaborate heist, but he needs the help of two strangers. Ursula Andress is a customer who propositions and eventually seduces him. Her oddball husband completes the trio needed for the robbery. However, the plot wastes too much time on their boring romantic triangle. Eventually, the heist takes place and the film's pace picks up considerably. All three of them are planning a double cross to take the money afterwards, but you won't know which one gets away with it until the very end. It's far from perfect, but very entertaining.
