Elias of the 16th Precinct follows three friends – Elias, Thomas and Vangelis – who face considerable financial hurdles with their debts rivalling the size of Everest. They decide the only solution is to snatch money from Vangelis’ boss, Labros ; a cafeteria owner, pawnbroker and fence. While Thomas will attempt the breaking and entering, Elias will be disguised as a police officer – for security reasons, of course. Hilarity ensues as this comedy of errors sends their plan spiralling off in a totally different direction.

Three poor friends, Ilias, Thomás and Vangelis, decide to break in the house of Vangelis's boss, who is a bar owner, but also a pawnbroker and fence. According to the plan, Thomás should commit the burglary, Ilias guard watch dressed like a police officer, while Vangelis should provide an alibi for himself by being seen in bar with his boss. But unfortunately, the maid of the house next door is accused of stealing a ring and Ilias is called upon to intervene. When the situation gets out of control, he ends up at the police station. Thomás however, is also captured and brought to the same section like Ilias, who tries to sort out the situation.
