Storyline
Sexy American diamonds lover Wanda and her boyfriend Otto are in England to plot alongside George and Ken the robbery of a diamond collection. Wanda and Otto want the stolen diamonds for themselves, and inform the police about George not knowing that he has already moved the diamonds to another secret place. Wanda thinks the best way to find out is by getting close to George's lawyer - Archie Leach. Written by Sami Al-Taher <staher2000@yahoo.com>

Ken: "K-k-k-k-Ken." You bastard. Hey, I've lost my stutter. It's gone. I can speak. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Trivia
In the opening sequence that introduces the principal cast, a model of the Eiffel Tower can be seen over Michael Palin's shoulder. This may be a reference to Charles Crichton's earlier film The Lavender Hill Mob, in which Alec Guinness tries to smuggle the stolen gold out of England by melting the gold down and disguising the stolen gold as a model of the Eiffel Tower.
