American Aldo Ray agrees to help Irish revolutionaries rob the Bank of England to make a political statement. Although it seems impossible at first, Ray concocts a plan to dig into the bank through the old London sewer system. They choose a long weekend to dig the tunnel and actually succeed in breaking through. However, the Irish call off the plan leaving the diggers with millions in gold bullion but no way to get it out. This anticlimactic ending is perhaps the film's greatest weakness.
