Synopsis
Six armed men, led by Tiao Medonho and Grilo Peru, dynamite a pay train on the Central Brazil Railway, killing several people and escaping with over 27 million cruzeiros. To avoid suspicion, the men agree to spend less than 10% of their shares. While the police slowly uncover the robbers' identities, Tiao's sudden wealth makes him conspicuous amidst his modest Rio de Janeiro surroundings. Grilo, who develops a penchant for expensive living in Copacabana, is killed by Tiao for squandering his money. The other robbers generally abide by the gang's pact, but as the police begin to close in, the men become nervous. After Tiao is fatally wounded while running away from the police, his wife relinquishes the stolen money and then returns to her children and their life of poverty.
