A motley crew of thieves led by George Thomason plans a diamond heist, with a seductive con artist named Wanda Gershwitz, her stuttering animal-loving partner Ken Pile, and the volatile arms expert Otto West. After successfully executing the robbery, Wanda and Otto double-cross George, hiding the diamonds and anonymously tipping off the police, leading to George's arrest. Meanwhile, Wanda, who has her own agenda, begins seducing George's lawyer, Archie Leach, to find out the location of the hidden loot.

As romantic entanglements and deceptions multiply, Archie discovers unexpected feelings for Wanda while navigating through a web of lies and competing agendas. Ken is forced into a series of misadventures, largely at the hands of Otto's ruthless antics, as he tries to help his beloved animals. Meanwhile, Otto's arrogance and erratic behavior further complicate everyone's plans. With tensions rising and double-crosses aplenty, the pressure mounts as they all race against time to recover the diamonds before anyone else does. The situation spirals into chaotic confrontations as allegiances shift unpredictably.
