Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In the French L'Aventure C'est L'Aventure, a gang of thieves, suffering a drop in business, enter into a new phase of larceny. Passing themselves off as terrorists, the gang begins committing political crimes, extorting huge sums to prevent further "dissidence". As a result, they're more successful than ever! Along the way, planes get hijacked, ambassadors are kidnapped and held for ransom, and the Pope is similarly abducted.
