A discredited professor (Edward G. Robinson) organizes a gang of thieves, plans a robbery, and then attempts it. The target is the bank vault inside a Monte Carlo casino. There is one problem: the criminals realize that there is no way to fence the loot and return it to the casino. Their take after all the work is the $3,000 they win at the gambling tables. Very good performances.
