The First Great Train Robbery

1855, the height of the Crimean War. The swindler-adventurer and experienced security guard Edward Pierce becomes one of the financiers and bankers of London. His goal is to rob a train that regularly transports gold bars worth 25 thousand pounds from England to Crimea. Since the bullion is transported in secure safes, Pierce enlists the help of the experienced burglar Egar and, together with his partner Miriam, begins to act.
