At that point the gang is willing to let its leader hang, but good old Claudia lays down her life to save her friend, and at the fade Cartouche sets his face to the foe and prepares to join her in death...
...called Don't Be a Do-Badder. The rest of the film runs to self-parody, augmented by boyish enthusiasm for booze, broads, violence and bad grammar.
