Synopsis:
Based on the popular 1988 film, the story centers on
two con men living on the French Riviera.
Lawrence Jameson is the older, suave, sophisticated
con artist who makes his lavish living by talking
rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson
is a small time crook who swindles women by waking
their compassion with fabricated stories about his
grandmother's failing health.
After meeting on a train, they attempt to work
together only to find that this small French town is
not big enough for the both of them. They
agree on a bet: the first one to extract $50,000
from a young female target (heiress Christine
Colgate) wins and the other must leave town. A
hilarious battle of cons ensues.
