Synopsis

Comedy concerning Guido, a goofy millionaire industrialist whose bazooka- proof plate glass has made him the enemy of thieves and Swiss insurance brokers alike. One day he is mistaken for a humble purse snatcher by a lovely pickpocket. Guido hides his true identity in order to gain the love of Tilli, who has a family of thieves.
