Peter Sellers stars in this comedic caper as criminal mastermind Dodger Lane, who, while serving the last couple weeks of a prison sentence, hatches a plan for the perfect robbery with his two cellmates. With the help of a bogus clergyman named Soapy Stevens, the trio plan to skip out prison, steal a maharajah's jewels and sneak back behind bars just before they're due to be released. Easier said than done!
