* Plot
Con man Eli Kotch charms his way into a parole by playing on the emotions of a pretty psychologist, but drops her at the first opportunity to move around the country, romancing women and then stealing their possessions, or those of their employers. He has made a down payment on the blueprints to a bank at Los Angeles International Airport, but needs to raise $85,000 to complete the purchase.
In Boston, he seduces and marries Inger Knudsen, the secretary of a wealthy elderly woman. Eli sends her to L.A. to set up housekeeping, on the pretext that a songwriter there is interested in his poetry. Meanwhile, he burgles another woman to get the final amount of money he needs. Eli heads to Los Angeles, where he begins to assemble his gang for the bank robbery, which is timed to take place while the airport is distracted by the arrival of the Premier of the Soviet Union.
To keep her occupied, Eli sends Inger to take Polaroid snapshots around L.A., supposedly for a magazine article he is writing. Using costumes stolen from a movie studio, he and one of the gang masquerade as an Australian policeman escorting an extradited prisoner in order to get through airport security, while the other two dress as LAPD policemen to get into the bank, bypass the alarm, and get a bank employee to open the safe.
The gang pulls off the heist and makes a successful getaway to Mexico on a plane. Eli has no idea that Inger has been frantically trying to get in touch with him, because she has inherited $7 million from her former employer.
