""When an African ambassador proposes the theft of his nation's priceless diamond from the Brooklyn Museum, smalltime crook John Archibald Dortmunder becomes the mastermind of a gang of bunglers. He and his lock-picking brother-in-law, Andrew, quickly recruit their accomplices: Murch, an expert but reckless driver, and Alan, a student of bomb-making at the Sorbonne and Berkeley. After planning the big heist to perfection, the four manage to snatch the gem--only to lose it immediately after. In a bizarre set of hilarious circumstances, they find they must break into a jail, a police station and a bank before they can attain the elusive treasure"--Videodisc sleeve."
