Handlung
Das Mädchen aus der Cherry-Bar ist eine junge hübsche Tänzerin namens Nicole, die zufällig der verstorbenen Frau von Ahmad Shahbandar einem Multimillionär aus Arabien, ähnlich sieht. Dies machen sich der Dieb Harry Dean und sein Komplize Emi zunutze, um dem steinreichen Witwer eine unbezahlbare Büste zu stehlen. Nicole geht auf das Angebot ein, Deans Frau zu spielen und so lenken sie bald die Aufmerksamkeit von Shadanbar auf sich. Dieser schöpft allerdings angesichts Deans auffälligem Verhalten sofort Verdacht, lässt sich jedoch vorerst nichts anmerken und so begleitet ihn das falsche Pärchen alsbald zu einer Besichtigung in sein geschütztes Appartement. Unter einem Vorwand kann sich Dean später von dem Millionär und Nicole lösen, um in den gesicherten Raum mit der Büste einzudringen. Doch das Manöver geht schief …
