Napoleon (Lando Buzzanca) is a small-time crook with big ideas. In prison in Naples where he is serving time for a robbery charge, he is sprung by accident when a foppish villain calling himself the Baron (Pinuccio Ardia) and his two "numb-skull" cohorts, Agonia (Ugo Fangareggi) and the Captain (Dante Maggio), tunnel under his cell, having lost their way to an expected bank vault. Napoleon escapes with his rescuers through the tunnel, and upon arrival on the outside of the prison, he discovers that the three are flat broke, despite the well-dressed appearance of the Baron. Napoleon swiftly asserts himself as leader of the group by pretending to be a master criminal and suggests that they move to Rome for richer pickings. The four of them are forced to travel to Rome in the back of a cattle truck since they do not have a car.

Victor Vauthier, un voyou sympathique et ne se laissant pas désarçonner par les imprudences auxquelles le conduit sa mythomanie, sort de prison, à la grande tristesse de ses gardiens, qui s'étaient attachés à lui, durant les trois mois de son incarcération. Il recommence immédiatement la série de ses vols et escroqueries. Cependant, il doit composer avec Marie-Charlotte Pontalec, déléguée permanente d'assistance post-pénale nommée par le juge d'application des peines. Victor et Marie-Charlotte ne tardent pas à éprouver une attirance réciproque, ce qui n'empêche pas Victor de chercher, à l'instigation de son oncle Camille, son père spirituel, à profiter de sa proximité avec Marie-Charlotte pour dérober un triptyque signé du Greco, après l'avoir vu au musée de Senlis, dont le père de Marie-Charlotte est conservateur. Mais la jeune femme finira par découvrir la vérité et le plus filou ne sera pas forcément celui auquel on pense de prime abord.

Henry Holland (Alec Guinness) is dining with a fellow Englishman in a posh restaurant in Rio de Janeiro where he is well known. He relates a story explaining his presence in Rio. It seems he was a seemingly unambitious London bank clerk in charge of gold bullion deliveries for over 20 years. He had a reputation for fussing over details and suspecting all cars he observed following the bullion van, but all in all appeared to be a man dedicated to his job and the gold's security. In fact, he had hatched the "perfect" plot to steal a load of bullion and retire. The one thing stopping him had been that selling the gold on the black market in Britain was too risky, and he was at a loss as to how to smuggle it abroad.
