Plot
Rolf Neilson, Kim Harris and Steve Houston are a trio of car thieves. They steal a car and in the glove compartment find a beret with a brooch, and a ransom note demanding £75,000 addressed to Rolf Neilson, a wealthy man whose daughter has been kidnapped. They realise they have stolen the abductor's car, and with the beret they can collect the ransom themselves, without needing the daughter.
