CARRYING OUT THEIR MASTERPLAN...
HIS NAME - LASSITER
In the Spring of 1939, Hitler's Nazis need to finance their network of espionage, sabotage and subversion. They plan to use uncut diamonds looted from Czechoslovakia and are shipping $10 million worth to Brazil via London. The British and Americans are desperate to stop them.
Scotland Yard and the FBI know that there is only one man in London who can lift the shipment... Lassiter, sophisticated American jewel Thief. Inspector Becker frames Lassiter for a robbery and offers him a choice - steal the diamonds from the heavily guarded German Embassy or go to prison. Lassiter confesses his dilemma to Sara who reluctantly agrees to help. They try to escape to Paris, but Becker catches them and brings them back to London.
Now there is no choice. Lassiter must embark on the most exciting and desperate adventure of his life. He must use all of his cunning to outwit the Germans - because to fail would be to die...
