The con is on... Place your bets!
Get ready for the next Sting! Those incredible con men are at it again. This time they're setting their text scheme in motion. The depression is over and everybody wants an even bigger piece of the action. It's twist after twist as Gondorff (Jackie Gleason), Hooker (Mac Davis) and Countess Veronique (Teri Garr) try to out sting both Doyle Lonnegan (Oliver Reed), the notorious gangster previously stung by this group and now out for revenge and profit, and Macalinski (Karl Malden) a local racketeer. It's the con to outdo all cons, and someone's finally going to get stung... but who? Unless of course, Lonnegan fits them with cement shoes first. Screenplay by the original author of The Sting, David S. Ward.
