The D.K.A. gang show up to repo a Cadillac that the Dortmunder gang has just used in a heist and is trying to figure out how to get rid of. The Dortmunder guys can't believe their luck that someone is willing to take the car off their hands, and the D.K.A. guys are wary that the Dortmunder guys will give up the car so easily.

The first crossover was when Dan Kearny showed up in PLUNDER SQUAD (1972) and the same scene was repeated, more or less, in Gores's DEAD SKIP (1972).
