Andrea Viola Tognazzi

A man who has just robbed a small bank holds four people hostage in a bakery after escaping a police chase. He begins a tense negotiation with the police, who have set up headquarters in a post office overlooking the street where the bakery is located. The situation is made difficult and comically bizarre by the nature of the hostages who just so happen to be in the bakery at the time of the raid.
