Synopsis
Alan is a London schoolteacher who leads a quiet, mildly stuffy life. As a hobby, he serves as a jazz disc jockey, spinning tunes for a hospital’s public address system, but he craves danger and excitement. One night, Alan stops into a bar for a drink and sees Beatrice, a beautiful woman who is arguing with two men. Alan is immediately enraptured by Beatrice and begins to pursue her. What Alan doesn’t know is that Beatrice is an infamous thief known to the police as “B. Monkey”, and the men she was quarreling with were Paul and Bruno, a gay couple who are her partners in crime. When Alan becomes aware of Beatrice’s secret, he tries to lead her into a safer and more honest way of life, even as she lures him into the thrilling existence he’s been dreaming of.
