Professor Marcus (Sir Alec Guinness) rents rooms in an elderly widow's home for himself and his band of cohorts. Posing as a string quintet, the thieves pull off a bank robbery, but slip up in front of the old woman as they try to escape. Therefore she must be eliminated. But who will do it? The arguing of the issue brings about the hilarious twist to this ingenious Ealing comedy thriller.
