Elias Of The 16th Precinct
Three friends, Elias, Thomas and Vangelis, who face many financial difficulties and owe money to banks, insurance companies etc, decide to snitch money from Labros. Labros who is Vangelis’ boss is a cafeteria owner, a pawnbroker and a fence. Thomas will attempt the breaking and entering and Elias will be disguised as a police-officer for …security reasons.
However luck plays funny games and the “police-officer” is being asked to solve a case concerning jewelry theft in a nearby house.
It is the “come-back” of the all-time classic film by Alekos Sakellarios, based on the play written by Sakellarios-Giannakopoulous (1958-2008).
