An experienced con man runs into a small-time grifter at a casino and convinces him to become his apprentice so they can work small cons more quickly and easily. After showing his apprentice the ropes, the con man gets involved in a large con where he will try to sell a counterfeit antique bank note to a collector who is passing through town. To do this, he has to involve his sister, who works at the hotel where the collector is staying, as well as the apprentice and a couple other people who become aware of the con and demand their cut. While his share of the fortune dwindles, the con man finds that this con is not as easy as he originally thought.
Lame. Not imaginative or even very entertaining. This movie is only about 1hr 20min long, so the characters didn't have time to develop and the plot seemed very rushed. If it were longer, maybe more could have been done with the script, but it's not even worth wasting 80 minutes on this film. Not to mention, the ending could be seen a mile away. Don't get conned into watching this one =)... hey, bad joke for a bad movie.
