John Dortmunder as a butler? Well, he's not really a
butler; he's just playing one at the heavily guarded
estate of crooked tycoon Monroe Hall. A corporate pariah
surrounded by loot, including a fleet of priceless vintage
cars, Hall soon finds his needs-from driving to cooking-
eagerly fulfilled by Dortmunder and his gang. Dortmunder's
plan: to change in one fell swoop from loyal servants to
merry robbers, and drive off with ill-gotten plunder.
There's just one problem. Monroe Hall has as many enemies
as antiques. Before Dortmunder can go from serving to
stealing, Hall disappears and the cops are knocking on the
door. And after a violent crime is committed, Dortmunder
is in the worst place possible. For as everyone knows,
whenever there's mischief in a mansion....the butler
always did it!
