Music Video

The video begins with the insertion of a Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1A in which the singer Douglas Robb is seen as a driver. This gets out and walks up to a young woman lying next to the rear of the car. In a flashback, we see that it has been approached shortly before in front of a pawn shop. All attention is focused on the woman. Meanwhile, guitarist Dan Estrin penetrates into the business and lets his accomplices, represented by the other band members into it. You crack the vault and steal various valuables and a ruby red gem. They escaped through the back door. At the same time commits the driver caused the accident flight, and pursued by the police. An ambulance would have arrived the injured care, as this gets up and flees with a motorcycle. The Pflandleiher is clear that he has fallen victim to a clever coup. The band is in hiding; the end of the video, however, we hear police sirens, what the assumption suggests that the hiding place has been tracked down by the police.
