　　赌城拉斯维加斯，除夕夜。轮盘赌盘在疯狂地旋转，纸牌的劈啪声愈发刺耳。老虎机鸣响，香槟酒气熏天。突然间，灯火骤熄，一片黑暗。这是一个多么完美的时刻，无论你是去偷吻香艳的女郎还是顺手牵羊地私密几张钞票。当然，对于丹尼·奥逊（弗兰克·辛纳特拉 Frank Sinatra饰）和他的十一个犯罪团伙来说，这更是一个偷天换日的绝佳盗窃机会。以丹尼为首的十一罗汉，均是二战退伍后最优秀的空降部队成员，个个身怀绝技。丹尼伙同山姆·哈蒙（迪恩·马丁 Dean Martin饰）、约什·霍华（小萨米·戴维斯 Sammy Davis Jr.饰）、吉米·福斯特（彼特·劳福德 Peter Lawford饰）和康纳斯（乔伊·毕晓普 Joey Bishop饰）等人，开始了一场有史以来最大的赌场抢劫案。然而这场看似天衣无缝的“完美”盗窃案，却纰漏百出、波澜起伏。　　由好莱坞著名导演刘易斯·迈尔斯通执导的1960版犯罪喜剧影片《十一罗汉》，荣获1961年美国制片人金桂冠奖提名及1961年美国编剧协会荧幕编剧奖提名。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
