Virginia "Gin" Baker (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is an investigator for "Waverly Insurance". Robert "Mac" MacDougal (Sean Connery) is a professional thief who specializes in international art. A priceless Rembrandt painting is stolen from an office one night, and Gin is sent undercover to investigate Mac as the chief suspect. She tries to entrap him with a proposition, claiming that she is a professional thief herself, and promises that she will help him steal a priceless Chinese mask from the well-guarded Bedford Palace. Before agreeing, Mac tells Gin his 'Rule Number One': "Never carry a gun: You carry a gun, you may be tempted to use it." They travel to Scotland and plan the complicated theft at Mac's hideout, an isolated castle. Aaron Thibadeaux (Ving Rhames), apparently the only ally that Mac trusts, arrives with supplies for the heist. While Mac is busy making final preparations, Gin contacts her boss, Hector Cruz (Will Patton), from a payphone, and informs him of Mac's whereabouts. Little does she know that the island is bugged, allowing Mac to eavesdrop on their conversation.

L'inspecteur de police Albert Gouvion est chargé de convoyer une importante collection de bijoux d'une valeur inestimable. Mais un dangereux et perfide truand, Marcel Lurat, dit « Quinquin » et ses complices font sauter le fourgon blindé au bazooka avant de s'emparer du butin. Quinquin va tuer, un à un, ses complices, y compris Gouvion, dont le meurtre est maquillé en accident ou en suicide. Le commissaire divisionnaire Louis Joss, supérieur et ami de Gouvion, ne croit pas à la thèse de l'accident et veut le venger. Il entreprend le ménage dans le milieu parisien en organisant la rencontre de deux bandes rivales (dont l'une est dirigée par Quinquin) à l'occasion d'un braquage avec l'aide de la maîtresse de Gouvion, Nathalie Villar, jeune et belle serveuse dans une boîte de nuit et sœur de Léon de Lyon, un des complices éliminés par Quinquin après le braquage. L'inspecteur comprend que son vieux pote, (qu'il surnomme affectueusement « Albert, la galoche », « l'empereur des cons ») avait ce don de s'attirer les ennuis, toujours de pire en pire selon lui, s'impliquant par faiblesse au milieu des gangsters pour impressionner et plaire à sa séduisante maîtresse.
