La stangata

La storia

Johnny Hooker e il suo amico Luther Coleman sono due truffatori di strada. Dopo aver raggirato il corriere del potente gangster Doyle Lonnegan, Luther viene ucciso per ritorsione e Hooker è costretto a fuggire e a nascondersi. Desiderando vendicare Luther, il giovane chiede aiuto ad un vecchio amico del defunto, Henry Gondorff, uno dei più bravi ed esperti truffatori degli Stati Uniti. Insieme organizzano una "stangata" ai danni di Lonnegan, creando una finta agenzia di scommesse in cui il boss crede di poter vincere facilmente delle ingenti somme di denaro, grazie a informazioni riservate.
