To finance a revolution aimed at the overthrow of the American government Jonathan Brace operates with people like Gregory Tolan, who initiates several robberies throughout the country. To achieve his next aim, the Drake's Armored Transport Company, Tolan recruits even more people - Jim, a demolition expert and Dana, who's working at Drake's. Though everybody is informed and plays along, Tolan's gunman, Klinger, tries to shoot "clerk" Willy, which Jim can prevent. After the bullet hit a window and sets an alarm on, all take refuge in a private house. 

Jim leaves to steal a car and brings a bugged one, which ensures Tolan's escape, because the IMF wants him to lead them to Brace. The home owners (Paris and an IMF coworker, Grace) arrive after they have got the dog of the house from the real owners. [The man is carrying the dog all the time and reluctantly hands it over to Paris – into his arms. Before they leave for the mission Paris, who is waiting to put the dog down on the floor, asks the owner: "Can it walk?"]. 

As the innocent homeowners enter their home, they are surprised to find it full of criminals. They are confronted with a photo from the shelf showing the real owners and the dog: "Who is this?" "Uncle ... of course and his wife with her (the dog's) mother – why?" Paris wonders why they want to know. They are tied up to chairs. Tolan and Dana escape to bring the money to Brace, while the others are left to shoot Paris and Grace. Instead of shooting them Jim knocks down the two gunmen and the IMF follow Tolan and Dana to Brace.
