Plot summary
London's criminals have a syndicate, a closed shop that divides up the city and guards each other's interests. Nobody carries a gun and nobody resists the police. Then three Australians dress as police officers and take the cash and jewels that other crooks have already stolen. "Pearly" Gates, who runs the fashion house Maison Jules as a front for his gang, finds his takings cut. He accuses his rival "Nervous" O'Toole of breaking their agreement, until both men see that the same outsiders are robbing them. The syndicate and Scotland Yard join forces, with Inspector Fred "Nosy" Parker as their link, to find the gang the police call the I.P.O. Mob.
