|
Zed has only just arrived in the exquisite Paris and already he's up to no good. Having just slept with a nickname girl, he spends a twilight on the town with his dangerous friends. They all fasten to rob a bank the following day. There's only rhyme obstreperous: Zed's call-girl, Zoe, just happens to enkindle at the bank which is to be robbed!
