Plot Summary
In San Marengo, master thief Cesare Giovanini’s heists leave local merchants profiting from hefty insurance claims. When captured, he’s granted luxury prison comforts, and even nightly “private visits”, in exchange for continuing his work under police supervision. Bored, Cesare escapes, only to be recaptured with an unexpected offer: a lucrative board position instead of bars.
