In the end, Capannelle & Co. cop the swag, a matter of 80 million lire ($130,000), but only by dumb luck. They stow it in a suitcase and the suitcase in a baggage room. The check-"Hey!" hollers Gassman. "What did I do with the baggage check?" He put it in his pants pocket, that's what, and he forgot to take it out when he gave the pants...
