Hold-Up

Synopsis:
Hold-Up: A black owner of an art gallery struggling to survive the recession is held up by a white hood. No money is to be had, but the fast-speaking, suave owner entices the thief to stay until he finally goes off with several prints. This plan is interrupted and almost spoiled by the unexpected entrance of a suburban housewife, resting from her shopping. As the thief finally leaves with the pictures, the owner hides more in a closet and quickly phones the local TV news station that he has had a major art theft.
