Starring Peter Falk, Vic Morrow, Peter Lawford

Harry Connors is a normal, law-abiding citizen until bad news of his father's health makes him desperate for money. Harry works in an insurance office and when he realises how casual some firms are with their money it seems a small thing to divert some of it to his own pocket. Before long, Harry has persuaded his two best friends that one perfect robbery will transform their lives for ever.
