Mientras están representando la obra, el villano Richard III, O´Malley traba una amistad con el gangster Bareller (Michael Gambon ), se descubre que el debe una suma importante de dinero a un gangster misterioso en Londres, planean un plan aparentemente infalible para conseguir dinero fácil. Para llevar a cabo la estafa, O'Malley convence a Tom de actuar como un mediador ilícito, que lo implica en la creación de varios disfraces y caracteres. Ayudado por la sobrina de Tom de 9 años (Abigail Iversen), ambos descubren un talento para el crimen que ellos nunca habían interpretado. Pero surgen complicaciones cuando Tom se enamora de la hija de Bareller, Dolores (Lena Heady), ya que O'Malley está de igual modo enamorado de ella. . (FILMAFFINITY)
