Robbery With Laughter! Crime Was Simple To Them - They Were All Simple Minded!

Comedy

Accident-prone Fingers runs a pretty unsuccessful gang. They try and rob wealthy but tricky Billy Gordon - who distrusts banks and fears the Inland Revenue - but he sees Fingers and the boys off. So they decide to kidnap his daughter, only to end up with his wife Lucy. Gordon makes out he couldn't be more pleased, spuring Lucy to take charge of the hopeless bunch of villains.

VIBE

A delightfully chaotic caper where bumbling criminals get more than they bargained for. Expect escalating absurdity and witty banter as a hapless gang navigates a series of unfortunate events. It's pure, unadulterated British comedic mayhem.
