“Clive Boomer’s Success” is a story of intrigue, murder and a five million dollar heist. It is an unbearably hot Friday when the bank’s air conditioning overheats and causes the computer system to go awry. With the system being inoperative, the bank’s safe must be manually opened on Monday morning. The bank manager gives two tellers separate halves of the combination. Set in a typical, close-knit neighbourhood, Peter Pisa, the fish store owner, is having a torrid affair with Rita Decroot, a bank teller with big dreams. She is also the girlfriend of reigning local gangster, Toto. Clive Boomer is a budding stand-up comedian and bank teller who owes a small fortune to Toto. Clive turns to Peter for assistance, and Peter agrees to take over the debt. In a cruel twist of fate, Toto seeks repayment by assigning Peter the task of killing Rita for her illicit liaison. Unable to do the deed, Peter gets Clive to handle it insisting she be allowed the luxury of one last sumptuous evening out. However, Rita is no fool. And things don’t always go according to plan. Sometimes life just ain’t that funny.
