Synopsis

[edit]

Three down-on-their-luck men come together to plot a heist. Things get complicated when Else, the former girlfriend of Robert, arrives on the scene. She is now living with Willy, but still has feelings for Robert. Willy's jealousy leads him to give an anonymous tip-off to the authorities. While Robert and George go ahead with their attempt to break into a safe, they are surrounded by police officers led by Commissioner Stern. He recognises Robert as the man who had saved his life in the war years before.
