Josy passes the news on to Angelo, a young drug dealer whom Max discovers making out with Josy in her dressing room at Fats’ club. Riton has stupidly gone and boasted to Josy about the loot, which Max has stashed away in a car locked up in his building’s parking garage. But Max and Riton, whose friendship goes back 20 years, have another thing coming. For Max, this grisbi (loot) will ensure him a cushy retirement in addition, for Riton it will - or so he thinks - help him hold onto his two-faced girlfriend Josy who, along with Max’s moll Lola, is appearing in a new floor show at the nightclub of their long-time underworld buddy, Pierrot (nicknamed “Fats”). The two aging hoods have just pulled off the heist of a lifetime - 50 million francs in gold bullion snatched at Orly airport. THE STORY Max le Menteur (“Max the Liar”) and Riton are sitting pretty.
“Le Dingue”means “the nutcase”or “the crackpot.” This character, a punk hood, is called “Fifi”and other female names, as Max and Pierrot’s way of humiliating him.
