About this deal
Take some famous actors playing small time criminals making good while bigger gangs are in prison. Bernard Cribbins, Barbara Windsor, Melvyn Hayes, as some of the crooks and Wilfred Bramble appears as an old sailor who helps the crooks by transporting their ill gotten gains which they recycle and turn into clean loot that can be sold on. They all follow a similar sort of pattern, the criminals are not particularly competent, finally hit upon a successful scheme and of course end up getting caught because 'crime never pays'.
