Nice guys finish last. Meet the winners.

Con artist Lawrence Jamieson is a longtime resident of a luxurious coastal resort, where he enjoys the lavish fruits of his deceptions -- that is, until a competitor, Freddy Benson, shows up. When the new guy's lowbrow tactics impinge on his own sophisticated work and believing him to be the infamous conman 'The Jackal', Lawrence resolves to get rid of him. Confident of his own duplicitous talents, he challenges Freddy to a winner-takes-all competition: whoever swindles their latest mark, American heiress Janet Colgate, out of $50,000 first can stay, while the other must leave town.

Zwei hinreissend verdorbene Schurken

Der Hochstapler Lawrence Jamieson kann sich bei seinen Betrügereien stets auf die Hilfe von Inspektor André und Butler Arthur verlassen. Er behauptet, ein Prinz im Exil zu sein und nimmt mit dieser Masche eine reiche Dame nach der anderen aus. Dann bekommt Lawrence eines Tages Konkurrenz von Freddy Benson. Der tritt nicht als Prinz auf, sondern als Enkel einer todkranken Oma - und hat damit Erfolg bei den Ladys. Lawrence will sich dieser Konkurrenz aufs Schnellste entledigen, doch es kommt anders: Freddy überredet ihn dazu, bei ihm lernen zu dürfen. Danach aber will Lawrence seinen Schüler loswerden und drängt ihm einen Wettkampf auf. Es gilt, als erster eine zufällig ausgewählte Frau um 50.000 Dollar zu erleichtern...
