Output (English): Grimm, dressed as a clown, robs a bank in midtown Manhattan. He ingeniously sets up a hostage situation and then slips away with an enormous sum of money 1 million and his accomplices: girlfriend Phyllis and best friend Loomis. The heist itself is comparatively straightforward and easy, but the getaway turns into a nightmare. The relatively simple act of getting to the airport to catch a flight out of the country is complicated by the fact that fate, luck and all of New York City appears to be conspiring against their escape. To begin with, the trio is seeking the BrooklynQueens Expressway to get the airport, but the signs were taken during construction work, resulting in the three robbers becoming lost in an unfamiliar part of the city. Then, a conartistthief robs the trio of everything they have except the bank money, which they have taped under their clothes. When changing into new clothes, they are almost gunned down by the stressed incoming tenant of Phyllis apartment, as members of the fire department respond to a call by pushing their hydrantblocking car out of the way only to make it roll into a ditch. When the three crooks eventually manage to flag down a cab, the driver is hopelessly nonfluent in English. This leads Loomis to jumping out of the moving cab to grab another, but he runs into a newsstand and the driver leaves, thinking hes killed Loomis. An analretentive bus driver, a runin with mobsters and Phyllis increasing desperation to tell Grimm the news that she is pregnant with his child add further complications. All the while, Rotzinger, a worldweary but relentless chief of the New York City Police Department, is doggedly attempting to nab the fleeing trio. A meeting on board an airliner at the airport occurs between the robbers and the chief, who gets the added prize of having a major crimeboss dropped in his lap with their assistance. Unfortunately the chief only realizes who they were after their plane has taken off.
