The Sting II

“The con is on... place your bets!”

Fargo Gondorff (Jackie Gleason) and Jake Hooker (Mac Davis) set up a new con on Gus Macalinski (Karl Malden), a mob boss with a mean streak. Their plan has Hooker playing a dull boxer tired of taking dives for Gondorff, and Veronica (Teri Garr), a grifter new to the crew, is brought in to help sell it. Jeremy Kagan puts the old partners back in the same game, and their trust in each other is what the job leans on.
