A Cockney band of thieves pose as police officers and begin confiscating loot stolen by another London gang who operate behind a high-fashion salon. Realizing his outfit is getting ripped off by the impersonators, criminal kingpin Pearly Gates (Peter Sellers) teams up with both rival gang leaders and the police to capture the double-crossing crooks and restore order to the London underworld. Sellers delivers a typically manic performance in this little-seen spoof of gangster movies. (official distributor synopsis)
