Harry Lime receives a telegram from Budapest, Hungary, that reads: "Dear Mr. Lime, My bank is going to be robbed and I need your help. Signed, Feckety" Harry believed it to be a man's name, but it was not anyone that he knew. However, as he knew all about bank robberies, he was dying to help. Besides, he loves eating the goulashes, so he starts packing right away to catch the first train to Hungary. Once he arrives, instead of going directly into the bank, he stops at a little flower shop across the street. As he walks in, he says "Good morning, do you have something for the buttonhole on my lapel?" He suddenly recognizes the lady working in the shop, and says "Oh Lily! What are you doing here?" She tries to ignore him and says "We have some nice pink flowers". Harry says "Oh, come on, Lily, don't tell me you don't remember me. And how are all the Corellies?" She asks "The who?" Harry says "Don't give me that, Lily". She says "My name is Lulu". Harry says "Well, it used to be Lily and you used to be a blonde. And the Corellies, as you know perfectly well because you used to work for them, the best bank robbers in Central Europe". Lulu says "Here, your gardenias, Harry. Now get out of here". Harry says "Okay, honey, okay. No need to get in a hassle". Lulu says "I'm telling you, Harry, get out". Not being one to argue, Harry took his gardenias across the street and walked the bank. Soon, the secretary says "Mr. Feckety will see you now, Mr. Lime. Harry goes into his office, and Feckety says "Sit down, sit down". Harry asks "What's your proposition, Mr. Feckety?" He says "Did you ever hear of a bank giving a reward?" Harry says "Yes, but only after a bank has been robbed". Feckety says "I'm reversing the procedure. I'm giving the reward first" Harry says "So, that's the caper is it? You want me to rob your bank for you?" Feckety says "Not at all, not at all. A reward is usually given for apprehending the thieves who have robbed the bank. What I want you to do, Harry, is to apprehend the robbers before the robbery is committed".
