Synopsis "The Big Grab / The Savage Breast "

THE BIG GRABKarl Heisler used to be a successful thief. But at 54, having spent fourteen years in prison, he's getting old. His wife just wants him to play it safe. But he's still got one more job in him. Which is where Frank Toschi, his former cellmate, comes in. Frank is a hard young man with a fair amount of brains and good old-fashioned guts. And he trusts Karl more than his own father. All they've got to do is break into the cash room at the Skyline House, a big gambling place, and they'll both be set for life. The Skyline House is owned by the mob, and what're they going to do about it? Cry to the cops? Karl has the perfect plan-his last big job. He may be getting old, but he will make this one a work of art.THE SAVAGE BREASTD.B. Sadder is rich young girl who lives with the husband her father provided her in an apartment in San Francisco. D.B. is profoundly unhappy. Her husband Gordon only disgusts her. Her father simply frightens her. Then she meets composer Harry Dazier and his two brothers at a party, and everything changes. The connection she feels with Harry is immediate. Sure, Harry drinks too much, but then so does D.B. So do they all. All except Harry's older step-brother Sandro, who doesn't like women, and particularly the women who try to get close to his brothers. But is he any crazier than Gordon, who has his own revenge planned for being kicked out of D.B.'s life?
