The Curse

Sidney explains that he has a new job at a warehouse which handles cash shipments in transit. Security is almost non existent and he could easily let the boys in and they could help themselves to as much as £50,000.

News of the robbery has spread all over the world - but the crooks remain completely oblivious to what they have stolen as they stash their ill-gotten gains in a hiding place.

A deeply troubled Albert throws himself into smelting gold as fast as Billy can sell it on.

They've bought a nightclub in Soho, Mick's driving a gold Bentley and they're starting to draw unwanted attention to themselves.

The gang are running out of options. The police are getting closer, watching the cafe night and day. And Ma McTavish is breathing down Mick's neck wanting her share of the gold. The gang have nowhere to turn. It might be time to make a run for it - but how? Well Albert has a plan. And it just might work …
