Holland, a shy retiring man, dreams of being rich and living the good life.
Faithfully, for 20 years, he has worked as a bank transfer agent for the
delivery of gold bullion. One day he befriends Pendlebury, a maker of
souvenirs. Holland remarks that, with Pendlebury`s smelting equipment, one
could forge the gold into harmless-looking toy Eiffel Towers and smuggle the
gold from England into France. Soon after, the two plant a story to gain the
services of professional criminals Lackery and Shorty. Together, the four plot
their crime, leading to unexpected twists and turns.
