478 So.2d 24 (1985)
STATE of Florida, Petitioner,
v.
Tom Alex O'HARA, Respondent.
No. 65116.
Supreme Court of Florida.
September 12, 1985.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen. and Mark C. Menser, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for petitioner.
James B. Gibson, Public Defender and David A. Henson, Asst. Public Defender, Seventh Judicial Circuit, Daytona Beach, for respondent.
EHRLICH, Justice.
Once again we are called upon to resolve a problem of multiple crimes arising out of a single episode. This case is in conflict with State v. Baker, 452 So.2d 927 (Fla. 1984), and we therefore have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.
*25 O'Hara was convicted of, inter alia, extortion[1] and second-degree grand theft[2] for threatening to have his victim arrested if she did not give him money. O'Hara and an accomplice were arrested after the victim turned over money provided by police who had been called into the case. The district court reversed the theft conviction, reasoning that "[o]ne cannot be convicted of two crimes for the taking of only one sum of money, be it through an extortion method as here, or a robbery method." O'Hara v. State, 448 So.2d 524, 524 (Fla. 5th DCA 1984). Unfortunately for Mr. O'Hara, one can be convicted of two crimes for taking only one sum of money, provided that neither crime is a necessarily lesser included offense of the other. State v. Baker. As Judge Cowart reasoned in his dissent from the decision below, 448 So.2d at 526, one may commit extortion without thieving, and one may commit theft without extorting. Neither crime is a necessarily lesser included offense of the other. The Baker test is satisfied, and both convictions and sentences must stand. § 775.021(4), Fla. Stat. (1981).
Accordingly, we quash the decision of the district court. It is so ordered.
BOYD, C.J., and OVERTON, McDONALD and SHAW, JJ., concur.
ADKINS, J., dissents.
