Pietro then produces the satchel of money, which he had hidden, and explains the entire circumstance to his Italian friends.

What happened after the big banks were bailed out by taxpayers in 2008? Spank the Banker is a feature-length documentary film about the biggest bank heist in history - as global financial capitalism sought to re-build its profits. The film follows the intimate stories of six ordinary but courageous individuals who refused to be intimidated and fought back against a corrupt financial system. For the first time, this film gives a voice to those thousands who were scammed and exposes in detail the vast corporate criminal conspiracy to defraud them. Tens of thousands of people were forcibly bankrupted and £100 billion of their assets stolen, destroying families and driving some to suicide. British politicians deliberately turned a blind eye to this massive fraud in case it threatened economic recovery. Meanwhile bank executives fired internal whistle-blowers, falsified documents and used legal blackmail to block exposure of their actions. The major British television networks limited their reporting of these events under legal threat from the major UK banks who can afford £1.5 billion on legal fees every year.

Fate, however, always ethical, is unceasingly conspiring against a successful consummation of his sinister efforts. The apparent wealth in the suburban home of banker Mr. C.W. Bourne, has excited the cupidity of three members of the underworld. They therefore concoct a scheme to gain an entrance. First: learn the layout of the house; they do this by disguising one of their number as a messenger and delivering a fake package to the house. He reports to his comrades, and entering a large trunk, the other two dress as expressmen to deliver it with human contents. But they also need to get the banker, widower father of two daughters, out of the way, so they send the following telegram: "Come to New York at once. Big shortage. Cashier has committed suicide. Coulter." At the time of the arrival of this telegram, the banker is presenting his younger daughter, who has been ill, with a beautiful diamond necklace. This little surprise he effects to lift the girl's spirits. Of course, he is loath to leave, particularly as the men servants are off for the evening. Still, the message is urgent and seems plausible, so he goes. Shortly after his departure, the trunk is delivered, and though there is some question, his older daughter receives it into the reception room, thinking it another of her father's surprises, she not knowing what had called him away so suddenly. The invalid sister is resting in the room next to the reception room, while the sister is in the reception room admiring her sister's present before a mirror. Suddenly she sees the reflection of a hand protruding from the trunk, which is now slightly open. The man inside hears her move and the hand is drawn back. She pretends not to notice this occurrence while hurriedly writing a note to Martha, the maid, dispatching her little niece, who happens to be in the room at this moment. This note reads: "There is a robber in the room. Telephone for police and keep quiet." As the child passes through the adjoining room, the invalid sister insists upon seeing the note and after a parley gets it. Rushing to the telephone, she calls the police headquarters. The desk man is dozing, and it is with difficulty she makes him answer and understand. When he does, he acts quickly, sending four officers on a mad rush to the Bourne mansion. Meanwhile, a thrilling scene is being enacted in the reception room. The man having gotten out of the trunk, renders the girl helpless, admits his accomplices and the three are ransacking the place when the police enter and capture them. At this moment the father returns, hiving found the message a trick, so the little family is thankful that nothing more serious has happened than the shaking up on their nerves.
