Daniel Foray is the leader of a wacky group of burglars in Paris. When Daniel is instructed by his boss to go to Chicago to pull off an easy job, it seems simple enough.
When they arrive in Chicago however, it quickly turns into Daniel's worst nightmare. First they find themselves on the wrong side of town and in a scrape with a local black gang. To make matters worse, they steal a car, which happens to belong to the head of a Chicago gang.
Then, after breaking into the house, tying up the owner and cracking the safe, they realise that they have raided the wrong house and have just robbed the boss of the Chicago Mafia. Now he wants revenge.
What follows is an hysterical adventure as our French friends desperately try to get out of the city and go home while the Mafia, the gangs, the FBI and the Chicago Police are in hot pursuit.
Crime Spree is a classic fish out-of-water story, where we can't help but wish the best for this group of lovable French thieves!
