Peter Sellers is the leader of a small gang of crooks whose latest heists are being foiled by another gang impersonating police officers. He calls together a meeting of the London syndicate bosses and they concoct a plan to nab the impersonators by setting up a fake robbery. The police are in on the plan as well, but the decision to use real money proves too much to resist for Sellers. The syndicate meeting is a truly absurd scene, and Sellers and Lionel Jeffries as the police officer in charge have great chemistry together, but still fails to generate any real laughs.
