Top Crack is a 1967[2] Italian comedy film directed by Mario Russo.

Plot

Two kidnappers, Charles (played by Terry-Thomas) and Karl (played by Gastone Moschin), head to Rome with the aim of kidnapping a famous billionaire, Mr. Feril (played by Victor Francen), 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 (played by Didier Haudenpin).

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]
