A mysterious stranger on a quest to steal art treasures runs into difficulty.

"Honestly, I could just die. The way George acts, you'd think it was my fault or something. You'd think he'd never even saw the guy. You'd think I'd stole his car. And he keeps asking me to explain everything to him. If I told him once, I told him a thousand times -- and the cops too. Besides, what's there to tell him? He was there."
