Six thugs, who are strangers to each other, are hired by a crime boss, Joe Cabot, to carry out a diamond robbery.

They are completely sure that the robbery is going to be a success. But, when the police show up right at the time and the site of the robbery, panic spreads amongst the group members, and two of them are killed in the subsequent shootout, along with a few policemen and civilians.
