A quiet unassuming bank teller Miles Cullen (Elliott Gould) observes a man he believes is studying the bank with a view to robbing it.
He is soon proved
right and held up at gun point but having Anticipated the when the robbery was
going to happen, he had already stolen a large sum for himself and had only
left a nominal amount in the draw for the thief, which he later places in a
safety deposit box, so the money never doesn’t leave the premises until he
deems it safe to do so.
In the meantime, he
romantically pursues co-worker Julie (Susannah York) but it seems doomed to
failure after he discovers she is having an affair with the boss.
the thief Reikle
(Christopher Plummer) realizes that the sum of money the Bank claims to have been
stolen doesn’t tally with his hall and resents the fact that he has been
outsmarted by the teller and resolves to get what was stolen from him.
So, a battle of wits
ensues between a clever and ordinarily "moral" bank teller and a
violent ruthless bank robber, as they desperately battle for superiority in the
end.
