 Meta, Carla and Lilli, 3 old ladies, decide to rob a bank. They see no other choice after all their money they saved for several years is gone. They had saved 8000 Marks for big cruise on an ocean steamer, their last big dream, but when they went to a bank with all their coins and bills that bank was robbed (by professional robbers). Since they are old but witty (they drink alcohol and smoke cigars although they don t have the permission from their children or the senior citizen home) they think that they are not too old to rob a bank. To get some advice from a professional criminal they visit a famous bank robber in jail (Til schweiger).
