Ocean's crew, demanding they return the $160 million they stole from
his casinos plus $38 million interest. Short by half, the group
schemes to stage another heist in Amsterdam to avoid problems with
U.S. authorities. They are tipped off by an informant named Matsui
about the location of the first stock certificate ever. After a
complex series of schemes, they find the document has already been
stolen by the "Night Fox", another master thief. Europol Detective
Isabel Lahiri is called in to investigate the theft and realizes that
she gave Rusty the idea of how to solve a complication of the heist
with a description of a similar burglary earlier during their
relationship. Surprising the group at their accommodation, she warns
them they cannot beat the Night Fox or his mentor, the mysterious
master-thief known as "LeMarc", both of whom excel in practicing the
"long-con". She has been hunting both for years.Danny and his gang
discover the Night Fox is François Toulour, a wealthy French baron
who has a villa on Lake Como. Toulour invites Danny to his villa and
reveals that he had exposed their identities to Benedict (breaking the
code of silence among thieves) and hired Matsui to inform the crew
about the certificate in order to arrange the meeting with Danny.
Toulour is upset that LeMarc suggested Danny may be a better thief
than him and challenges Danny to steal the Fabergé Imperial
Coronation Egg. If Danny and his crew win, Toulour will pay off the
debt to Benedict.
