Holland is a shy retiring man who works as a bank transfer agent for the delivery of gold buillion. One day he befriends Pendlebury, a maker of souvenirs. Holland remarks that, with Pendlebury's smelting equipment, one could forge the gold into harmless-looking toy Eiffel Towers and smuggle the gold into France. Soon after, they gain the services of professional criminals Lackery and Shorty and the four plot their crime, unaware of the pitfalls which lie ahead
