The story

Dave Anderson and Manny Durrell are two high-class criminals in Chicago who have never been caught. Dave is shown at the beginning of the film displaying his expert safecracking skills and burglarizing a large firm, obtaining a large sum of money before making a dramatic escape by jumping from a high window into the back of a covered van. Manny is an expert con man who devises a scheme to swindle Bruno, a notorious gangster, out of nearly half a million dollars, by staging a fake police raid and using a woman named Bea Quitman to pose as Bruno's maid.
