Das Glück kam über Nacht (1951)
Bankangestellter Henry Holland überwacht die Transporte von Goldbarren der Bank von England. Seit Jahren hat er Pläne für einen großen Coup. Als er befördert werden soll, scheinen sie sich in nichts aufzulösen. Da kommt ihm Nachbar Alfred Pendlebury recht, der Briefbeschwerer aus Metall herstellt. In seiner Werkstatt werden die Goldbarren zu handlichen Eiffeltürmen gegossen und als scheinbare Souvenirs nach Frankreich verschickt. Der Coup gelingt, doch dann werden die Türmchen an ahnungslose Schülerinnen verkauft...
