Terry Leather is a London car dealer facing slow business. He is clever and resourceful. Martine, a former model who has feelings for him, proposes a plan: the bank’s alarm system will be inactive for a few weeks, so they should dig into the vault. Terry forms a team but doesn’t realize that Martine’s true objective involves a safe-deposit box containing scandalous photos of a royal. She needs these photos to negotiate her way out of a prison sentence, while MI-5 or MI-6 is orchestrating events from behind the scenes. Along with them, a Trinidadian criminal, a luxury brothel owner, and a pornographer have valuables in the vault, making the heist risky for many powerful individuals. Can this group of amateurs successfully complete their mission? In 1971, criminal Michael X threatens the British government by blackmailing them with scandalous photos of parliament members engaged in sexual acts with prostitutes. He stores these pictures in a safe deposit box at Lloyds Bank on Baker Street. Ambitious MI-5 agent Tim Everett devises a daring scheme to steal the photos during a bank heist. After former model Martine Love is arrested at Heathrow for drug trafficking, Everett offers her security details to assist in the bank robbery.
Martine travels to East London to meet her ex-boyfriend, car dealer Terry Leather, who is married with two daughters and has debts to a dangerous loan shark. She informs him that the bank’s alarm system will be turned off for several days. Terry gathers his friends, and the inexperienced team successfully pulls off the heist. However, they not only take money but also acquire Michael X’s photos, a book detailing transactions with corrupt Scotland Yard cops, and images of politicians in compromising situations at Sonia Bern’s brothel. This leads various groups to launch a manhunt for Terry and his crew, each with their own motives.
Terry, a small-time car dealer, seeks to escape his troubled past and build a family. Martine, an attractive model from his old neighborhood, is aware that Terry isn’t completely innocent. When she suggests a seemingly fail-proof plan to rob a bank, Terry understands the risks but sees it as a once-in-a-lifetime chance. In September 1971, robbers broke into a bank vault in London’s Baker Street. They stole cash and jewelry from safe deposit boxes, totaling over three million pounds. None of the stolen items were ever found. No one was arrested for the crime. The robbery made headlines briefly but faded away due to a ‘D’ Notice that silenced the media. This film uncovers details that have remained hidden until now. The narrative includes murder, corruption, and a sex scandal tied to the Royal Family, with the thieves being the most innocent parties involved.
