La pietra che scotta (1972)
L’ambasciatore di uno stato africano da poco indipendente prende contatto con un gruppo di scassinatori per rubare una pietra preziosa, simbolo dell’antica civiltà della nazione, conservata in un museo americano. I malviventi si tuffano nell’impresa con tanta buona volontà e, nonostante molti pasticci, riescono a impadronirsi del gioiello. Ma uno degli scassinatori, catturato dalla polizia, deve inghiottirlo per far sparire le prove.
