The smart criminal Toni runs a successful car ringing operation, pushing luxury limos to Eastern Europe, aided and abetted by sunny-boy Pepe, ex-Foreign Legionnaire Guru and gangster's moll Dolores. Toni lives the high life. Tough police inspector Goethals puts the gang behind the bars by getting Pepe to betray his friends, Toni manages to escape with the help of a secret love of his from the racetrack, the attractive Mona. They share a brief few days of freedom before Toni is betrayed again. His old pal Guru gets shot when being arrested. Back inside, Toni and Pepe have nothing left to lose: a dramatic hostage-taking is their one and only chance. But outside the walls, two people are waiting for Toni: Mona, the love of his life, and Goethals, the hunter.
