Top Crack (German: Immer Ärger mit den Lümmeln) is a 1967[2] Italian-German comedy film directed by Mario Russo. The film is scored by Gianni Marchetti.
Plot
Two kidnappers, Charles and Karl, head to Rome with the aim of kidnapping a famous billionaire, Mr. Feril, who is also the inventor of a powder that turns into an egg after it is cooked.[3]
Once they have the ransom, it ends up stolen by a gang of kids[1] led by Uno.
At the end, jewelry is tied to a couple of balloons by the gang. Both Charles and Karl watch helplessly as the gang take shots at the balloons, resulting in the jewelry falling into the sea.[3]
