Plot
Storyline
A comic caper movie about a plan to steal a gold shipment from the streets of Turin by creating a traffic jam.
Charlie has just left prison, and now wants to do a "big job". The job is to steal four million dollars worth of gold arriving in Italy from China. Charlie's job needs financing, so he goes to Mr. Bridger (a Mafia-type boss) who is in prison (Charlie has to break in). In Italy, a clever plan is used to distract the authorities, while the raiders make their get-away in three Minis. This leads to a car chase sequence through Italian streets, buildings, rivers, sewers, highways, and rooftops, which lasts for several minutes.
