False Pretences
Eric Chappell
Philip is going through a messy divorce.
To make himself some money and give his life a boost of adrenalin, he devises a cunning scheme to rob the London department store Jarvis and Klein of its daily takings.
He needs help, however, so he enlists John, an ex-stationery salesman sacked for fiddling his expenses, and Dave, another salesman with a hugely expensive lifestyle, as his partners in crime.
The plot seems to be going well - until John and Dave's wives join forces to investigate their husbands' odd behavior.
