A woman shows an unusual interest in the robber who hit the bank where she was passing counterfeit money. Kojak: Telly Savalas. Regan: Lane Smith. John: Peter Mamakos., A small-time con artist moves into the big league – planning to rob six banks in one day., Zohra Lampert delivers a colorful performance as Marina Sheldon, a Gypsy fortune teller who, while trying to pass some counterfeit money, witnesses a bank robbery. Figuring that there’s more profit in thievery than in crystal-gazing, Marina steals a mug shot of the robber from police files, uses the man to organize her own gang, and formulates a scheme to knock over six banks simultaneously–right under the nose of Lt. Kojak (Telly Savalas). Appearing as one of the crooks is a young Lane Smith., A woman shows an unusual interest in the robber who hit the bank where she was passing counterfeit money.
