Based on a true story of the Foster Gang who held Johannesburg and the Rand in terror in 1914 . The gang was made up of Foster, an migr Irishman whose first bold robbery had been on the American Swiss Watch Company in Cape Town, an American circus performer and adventurer John Maxim and a teenage Afrikaans youth who went by the name of Carl Mezar. The team also included Fosters (British) music hall performer girlfriend. The gang always kept one step ahead of the law and was constantly on the front page of the newspapers - up until a nosy neighbour reported her suspicions as to their whereabouts to the police. Their desperate flight to the Kensington caves and their fatal death pact while completely surrounded by the forces of the law has become the stuff of legend.
