Andy Griffith is a superintendent in a run down New York City apartment building. Approaching middle age and distant from his wife Ida Lupino, he makes nightly visits to the local bar. The young and beautiful Susanne Hildur tries to pick him up. Amazed at his luck, he takes her to the apartment building where she supposedly needs a place to sleep. Her Army wacko friends barge in and announce their plans to rob the bank next door. The rest of the film unfolds with a typical heist and hostage plot. The main interest here is the cast, with Andy in his made-for-TV movie period, Ida aging but still believable and even Michael Brandon fine as the "pretty boy" leader of the group.
