Larceny, Inc.

Two small-time crooks, Jeff Conway and "Slippery" Jim Smith, aim to go straight after getting out of prison. They decide to start a legitimate business by opening a pet shop. However, to secure the location for their shop, they concoct a plan to rob the bank next door, believing it will fail and they can then buy out the struggling bank's lease. Their scheme hilariously unravels as they find themselves in a series of comedic mishaps.

Larceny, Inc. was generally well-received by critics and audiences for its lighthearted comedy and the performances of its lead actors, particularly Edward G. Robinson in a departure from his usual gangster roles. It was seen as a fun, if somewhat predictable, crime-comedy.
