Summary
This is a retelling of the movie The Sting (1973). The plot does not belong to me.James Potter is a small time grifter trying to survive through the Great Depression. After he cons the wrong man, He teams up with an old pro to pull off the best sting of his life--one so good that the target won't even know he was swindled. Things inevitably go wrong, and zany hijinks ensue: including gambling, love, merry-go-rounds, painter's tape, and a visceral fear of horses.
