It's 1911. Tapioca, a poor thief, isn't very good at his "occupation". After stealing a salami, he falls through a skylight trying to escape the chasing shopkeeper. The fall is fateful, for he ends up meeting Gastone Cascarilla in the house, who had been his "apprentice" as a boy and has now grown up to be a top thief. Impeccably decked out in tails, top hat, and frock coat, he intends to extort money from the wife of wealthy businessman Ornano, who owns the house and a financial "empire". Gastone is in possession of some letters the magnate's wife sent to one of her numerous lovers. And he intends to use that to blackmail her into giving the combination to a safe. The former apprentice gets away with ten million lire, but Tapioca is still in the house when he's discovered by Ornano, who identifies him as the criminal.

1911. Tapioca è un povero "ladro di galline" incapace di realizzare un buon colpo e che finisce spesso in carcere. Per scappare da un negoziante dopo il furto di un salame, precipita da un lucernario finendo in una casa signorile e deserta. Lì incontra Gastone Cascarilla, che era stato suo "apprendista" da ragazzo, e divenuto nel frattempo ladro di classe. Impeccabile in frac, cilindro e redingote, vuole estorcere del denaro alla moglie del ricco imprenditore Ornano, proprietario della casa e di un "impero" finanziario. Gastone, in possesso delle lettere che la moglie ha inviato a uno dei suoi numerosi amanti, si fa dare la combinazione della cassaforte da questa. Riesce così a rubare 10 milioni di lire e a scappare indisturbato. Tapioca, invece, rimane ancora nella casa e viene scoperto mentre scappa. Identificato da Ornano in quanto pregiudicato, viene arrestato perché creduto lo svaligiatore della cassaforte.
