Under the nose of the unsuspecting Milanese Police, the ambitious young criminal, Sergio, and his gun-toting gang of thieves manage to pull off a spectacular bank heist. In the guise of pious Catholic monks--and with their leather suitcases crammed with cash--the band of robbers find refuge in an abandoned monastery in the middle of nowhere, intent on spending there the next six months; however, an unforeseen complication in the shape of a late-night visit threatens to put a premature end to Sergio's dreams. Until now, theirs was a foolproof plan. Will Sergio's gang get away with robbery, Roman-style? Written by Nick Riganas
After a successful bank robbery, the thieves escape in a helicopter. While he police is searching for them everywhere near airports or the borders, they actually stay closely near the city in an abandoned monastery. The boss of the gangsters had the idea they might disguise for 6 months as monks, and only after the search for them is abandoned and the robbery forgotten, they shall share the money and leave the country. This cunning plan is of course challenged by various problems, from a gang member who would not want to wait for six months to get his share to real monks returning to the monastery. Pretty cool crime story which fits well into the 'criminal master mind' sub-genre of the 1960s. The tough story shot in rather grim style in black and white is however quite unusual for its star Celentano.
