Plot
Fernando Olmos, a recently graduated police officer, witnesses a bank robbery, although he cannot do anything to prevent it. His first job is to infiltrate a garage as a car washer to catch a thief, unaware that the owner of the establishment is also the head of the robbery gang.
The film ends with a shocking sequence: the fight against the robbers in a building under construction: the Francisco Franco Health Residence, now the Valle de Hebrón Hospital in Barcelona.[2]
