Plot

[edit]
Four-color MS-DOS version

As an experienced thief, John Nelson Brainner Stravinsky, known as Goody, has a mission to bust into the Bank of Spain. Equipped with a ladder, Goody explores sewers and city buildings. Along the way, he may collect treasure needed to purchase tools such as dynamite or a drill and to find out the access code to the main vault. Goody has to tackle many objects and enemies that try to stop him, like remote-controlled combat helicopters, vipers, gorillas, ghosts, the policeman Rodríguez and the evil Moon.
