Synopsis:

Three losing crooks are featured as Stooge-like misfits (sans slapstick) in this conventional comedy by director Michael Truman. Bernard (Dave King) is the ringleader, while Harry and Alfie (Daniel Massey and Norman Rossington) do their best to contribute to the trio's success -- and fail each time. First the group screw up their escape after a robbery because they are stuck in traffic by a fire engine. That gives them the idea of getting a fire engine to pull off a heist, and that goes wrong because they are detoured to a real fire. Next, they recruit an ex-fireman with a record for setting blazes himself (Robert Morley) in the hopes that a decoy fire can take attention away from the bank they want to rob. With their batting average, the bank seems fairly safe.

Bernard, Harry and Alfie are three charming but unsuccessful crooks whose smash-and-grab tactics always go awry. On their way to another stint behind bars, the trio spot an on call fire engine and hatch a new plan. Upon release they set out to acquire a fire engine to use as the perfect getaway vehicle on a jewellery robbery. When the gang get mistaken for real firemen their plan begins to slowly unravel. Scared off by the police, Harry runs for cover in a local boutique where he meets beautiful sales assistant Chantal, who might just hold the key to finally pulling off a successful heist.

Comedy about three crooks who pose as firemen.
