Betty and Victor are two small crooks who are haunting luxury hotels, looking for future victims. Now Betty has made the acquaintance of François Cluzet, the treasurer of an international group. Cluzet is on the verge of stealing from his employer during his next flight to the Caribbeans by disappearing with his wallet containing more than $2,000,000.
