Summaries

In London, Australian gangsters disguised as Bobbies rob the local criminals, making the panicked British mobsters seek an alliance with Scotland Yard in order to eliminate the foreign competition and return things to "normal".

The crooks in London know how it works: No one carries guns and no one resists the police. Then a new gang appears and goes one better: They dress as Police Officers and steal from the crooks. This upsets the natural order of the Police/criminal relationship, and the Police and the crooks join forces to catch the impersonating Police Officers, including an armored car robbery in which the Police must help the gangs to set a trap.—John Vogel <[email protected]>

London in the Sixties. Organized crime gangs are working smoothly but know that, when confronted by the Police, they're "banged to rights" and need to "come quietly". This cosy balance is disrupted when a group of Australian criminals impersonate the Metropolitan Police and make off with the proceeds of the crimes after duping the criminals. Realization of the operations of the people impersonating Police Officers slowly dawns on the criminals and then the Police. They then agree to work together to outwit the foreign impersonators. This leads to bungling attempts to capture the gang to great comic effect.—Chuckee

Hiding behind an elaborate facade, Pearly Gates, the creative mind of the prestigious Maison Jules boutique, pulls the strings behind London's most successful crime syndicate right under the nose of the Scotland Yard. However, there's a new gang in the city, nicking Pearly's lads and leaving them empty-handed. Now, after six fruitless jobs and not one lousy penny, Pearly has no choice but to join forces with an antagonist and an unlikely ally to get to the bottom of this humiliating crisis and restore normalcy. But first things first: Who has the nerve to rob London's finest robbers?—Nick Riganas
