Walter, his girl friend Bikini and Willy, Squirts, Specs and Lorenzo, a gang of crooks, leave town to avoid the police. They go to a monastery on an island off the coast of Cornwall and live there disguised as monks. With the help of Phineas, a fisherman, they receive and dispose of stolen goods The crooks change and are kinder and gentler but Squirts begins to place l bets on the dogs and the police become suspicious. When Walter decides it is safe to leave none of them want to go except Willy who has fallen for June, Phineas's granddaughter. They give the deeds of the island to some real monks and as the gang say goodbye they see the police waiting for them.

Crooks In Cloisters is a 1964 British comedy starring Bernard Cribbins and Barbara Windsor. A gang of hardboiled rogues exchange their London gear for the brown robes of a religious order. Make no mistake, they are no undergoing a change of heart, just hiding out until the heat cools off a little and they can return to their criminal activities in the big smoke!
