Donde esté el dinero

Henry es un veterano atracador de bancos que es trasladado, de la cárcel donde cumple condena, a una residencia de ancianos fingiendo una parálisis cerebral. Allí se encarga de cuidarle Carol, una enfermera que no se fía del recién llegado. Carol está harta del trabajo y de su matrimonio. El historial de Henry pica la curiosidad de Carol. Está convencida de que las cosas no son lo que aparentan. Incitada por su hambre de emociones fuertes, fuerza a Henry a que le revele su secreto, y éste le hará sacar a relucir cualidades desconocidas para ella. Con las recién descubiertas ambiciones delictivas, Carol tienta a Henry para que lleve a cabo un último golpe.

Carol Ann MacKay is a fine, popular nurse at a retirement home, and spends her free time with her hunky athletic husband Wayne MacKay, who was the star of her school's football team when she was high school prom queen; he still would do anything for her, including cleaning up the messes her ideas get them in. When legendary bank robber Henry Manning, who had a major stroke in prison, is placed in the home, supposedly having lost all control over his body, she notices he must be in far better condition then he lets appear, and tries everything to find out- when she pushes his wheelchair in a canal at a picnic, Henry gives up. The McKays keep his secret and Henry doesn't actually run in Waynes car as his first impulse was; soon Carol gets his confidence and the two start planning how they three can commit another robbery on an armored money transport, which brings them together. It doesn't go quite according to plan, but they get the loot; however, before the money can be split some big surprises change everything...
