This comic caper sees Charlie (Michael Caine), having just been released from prison and ready to get his teeth into another big job so he can retire.

The big job he decides to embark on is to steal $4million worth of gold which is on its way to Italy from China. However this job needs financing so he breaks into prison to ask Mr Bridger (Noel Coward) who just so happens to be a mafia type boss, for investment.

Back in Italy a clever plan is being hatched to effectively distract the authorities by bringing Trento to a standstill involving a couple of Jaguars and a bus, while the raiders make their getaway with the gold in 3 Mini Coopers and an exhilarating car-chase ensues through the Italian streets, Buildings, Rivers, Sewers and Rooftops.
