Details
In the 1964 film Crooks in Cloisters, a small gang led by Little Walter decides to lay low in a deserted monastery in Cornwall after a train heist in London. The group of six criminals, including a safecracker, pickpocket, and forger, must adapt to the quiet and peaceful life of the monastery.
As the gang tries to maintain a low profile, they encounter the challenges of fitting in with the monks and adhering to the monastery's rules. Despite their criminal pasts, the gang begins to find solace in the simple life of the monastery and forms unexpected bonds with the monks.
However, their newfound peace is threatened when their criminal past catches up with them, and they are forced to confront their shady ways. The film explores themes of redemption, friendship, and the possibility of change, as the gang faces dilemmas that test their loyalty and morality.
Crooks in Cloisters is a charming and comedic tale of unlikely friendships and the power of second chances, set against the backdrop of a quaint monastery in Cornwall.
