Upon making a crime, Harry Lockhart, a young cunning thief, who upon a robbery, has escaped from police, but incidents come to climax, when he hides in Hollywood, where he is mistaken by a famous actor, the thing that inspires him to flee from the police, but makes him involved at the same time in dealing with a detective.
The plot of the film is almost willfully convoluted. But it's also largely beside the point, an excuse for quite a few good scenes, most of them equal parts homage and subversion.
