A gang of thieves plan a daring bank robbery, making their escape across the rooftops of Los Angeles. The police are quickly called in, however, and only one of the robbers, Murdock, makes a clean getaway. Unfortunately, in order to do so, he is forced to dump the stolen cash into a mailbox, which he then finds is locked until midnight, forcing him to wait until the mailman makes his late night pickup. As he waits, he discovers that his hiding place has been observed by several other people, all of whom want a share of the loot.

本片描述一名联邦调查局的调查员，本应在瑞士将美国黑社会头子的二奶逮捕归案，不料在和她一番短暂接触后竟然对她萌生爱意。导演斯图尔特．卢森堡有点故作深沉，使得本片沦为一部不伦不类的不象动作片的动作片。全片节奏缓慢，缺乏紧张刺激性氛围，查尔斯．布朗森在片中的表演也让人大跌眼镜，丝毫不象在中译片中那么威猛，吉尔．艾尔兰、罗德．施泰格尔等人的表演也显得平淡无奇。
