I tre ladri

Da una commedia di Umberto Notari, sceneggiata da Franco Brusati e Felicien Marceau: Tapioca, modesto ladruncolo, è coinvolto in un ricatto effettuato da Gastone, suo allievo. Finisce in carcere al suo posto e, grazie a un'improvvisa popolarità, ci vive da gran signore.

Tapioca, a small-time thief, hides out in an elegant apartment, where he is soon joined by Cascarilla, one of his apprentices who has become better than his master. When the owners arrive home, the latter offers the wife a bunch of love letters she has written to various lovers for ten million.
