Dieses zu stehlen verlangt ihnen aber alles ab. Und dann ist da noch Pierre, der ihnen dicht auf den Fersen ist und die Diebesbande quer durch den Kontinent jagt. Und dabei erhält er auch noch Unterstützung von Dans aufgebrachter Ex-Freundin. Können er und seine Kollegen den Coup erfolgreich durchführen und das Kollier in ihren Besitz bringen?
