Storyline: Once a Thief is an action/comedy/romance movie involving the plight of three master thieves (in the mode of Pink Panther). All three were raised by the same father and in fact were most certainly street orphans.

The plot revolves around the theft of a mysterious "cursed" painting and how its obsession affects the family.
