“Nice guys finish last. Meet the winners.”

Lawrence Jamieson (Michael Caine) has spent years fleecing wealthy women in a luxurious coastal resort, until Freddy Benson (Steve Martin) arrives with cruder methods. Lawrence proposes a winner-takes-all bet: whoever first swindles American heiress Janet Colgate (Glenne Headly) out of $50,000 stays, and the loser leaves town. Frank Oz stages it as a contest between two men who each think a con is a craft, and that taste is worth more than the money.
