Luther Whitney, a man in his late 60s, is a well experienced burglar, who specializes in burglarizing the wealthy. On the night of his planned last heist ever, something went wrong. In the midst of burglarizing the house, he entered a vault that would allow him to see everything that was going on in the bedroom by way of a one-way mirror. While the lady of the house returned with a companion, the President of the United States, he was trapped inside and witnessed two Secret Service agents killing the billionaire's trampy young wife as she tried to fight off the drunken sexual advances of the nation's chief executive. That made Whitney the target of the nation's executive.
