Synopsis

Three gangsters try to crack a safe but have to flee the scene when an alarm goes off. Their boss at Central Break-Ins, LLC. is furious until Ricky recommends a new "occupation strategy."

 

Disguised as American soldiers, the crooks attend a charity gala and organize a parlor game in which all the guests place their valuables on a table and march around it. The lights suddenly go off, and the "occupation forces" are able to make off with the gold and jewelry.
