    The plot of the darkly comic "Good Fences..." revolves around a theft which takes place in the opening sequence. Bunny, a burglar with more beauty than brains, steals a rare coin from the home of District Attorney Remington, but can't resist also lifting $12,000 in cash and a stack of photographs which reveal that the D.A. is cheating on his wife. Blackmail seems in order, but Jules -- Bunny's fence and neighbor, who is hopelessly in love with her -- insists that blackmail isn't "right" and takes the photos from her. Bunny and her seemingly stupid husband Harold find Jules' reaction hypocritical, as they both believe he deals drugs despite his vehement denials, but they are unable to sway him..

    Even before we see Jules studying the photos, we know that there's more to them than has met Bunny's eye, because there is a third man in the photographs whom we have already met -- Sangalli, a Mafia crime boss who has successfully carried out the murder of Remington, and who is quite aware that Bunny has stolen the photographs.

    As Carson, an undercover cop with his own agenda, watches Jules' every move, Bunny and Harold plot to steal the photographs back and carry out the blackmail themselves. But when the "real" Harold is revealed at last, Bunny finds herself the target of the cops, the Mafia, and a bomb-happy Englishman.
