In New York City, Skip McCoy is a skilled pickpocket with a quick wit. He accidentally steals the wallet of Candy, a woman unknowingly carrying classified information for the communists, during a crowded marketplace hustle. This seemingly simple theft unexpectedly thrusts Skip into the middle of a dangerous espionage plot. The FBI has been tracking Candy for months, hoping to find the leader of a spy ring. Her stolen wallet and its contents jeopardize everything. Unexpectedly, her ex-boyfriend Joey tasks Candy with finding not only Skip but also the valuable microfilm he now possesses. This story blends crime, espionage, and personal relationships as both Skip and Candy become entangled in a dangerous game neither anticipated, revealing the surprising consequences of unintentional actions.
