Plot[edit]

Four-color MS-DOS version

As an experienced thief John Nelson Brainner Stravinsky, known as Goody, has a mission to break into the Bank of Spain. Equipped with a ladder, Goody explores sewers and city buildings. Along the way he may collect treasure needed to purchase tools such as dynamite or a drill and to find out the access code to the main vault. Goody has to tackle many objects and enemies that try to stop him, such as remote-controlled combat helicopters, vipers, gorillas, the policeman Rodríguez, ghosts, and the evil Moon.
