Film Synopsis
Nice is a haven for thieves and a nightmare for insurance companies. Lepski, a former cop from Florida, now earns his crust as an insurance investigator. His company is charged with insuring an exhibition of Russian art, whose prize exhibit is a valuable wooden statute from the 14th century. Bradley is determined to steal this precious object and organises a daring hold-up. On the day the exhibition is opened, the statue is stolen, replaced with a copy that doesn't fool Lepski. The private investigator wastes no time trying to recover the stolen object.© James Travers
