The plan is about simple everyday armed robbery. Supermarkets, bars, liquor stores, gas stations, etc. Because the statistics prove that this armed robbery pays the most for the least amount of risk, they start their business and earn three to five thousand dollars a week. To prevent getting caught Frank introduces 10 golden rules for successful armed robbery:

Always be polite on the job and say please and thank you.

Never say more than necessary. Less is more.

Never call your partner by name-unless you use a made-up name.

Never look suspicious or like a bum and dress well.
