Porn baron Dickie Brennan is desperate to own a winning racehorse. So that’s what he thinks he’s getting when he swoops in to buy Cindy’s Fortune, a horse said to be a classic winner in the making, as the drama about a group of con artists continues. To rope the mark, Albert poses as a syndicate member poised to get his hands on this flying machine.

Dickie is champing at the bit to beat Albert to the sale, but what he doesn’t know is that he’s falling right into the trap set for him – fake owner, fake trainer, a dodgy stopwatch and a useless horse.

Dickie isn’t a fool when it comes to money, however. With Ash posing as the trainer of the horse, Dickie tries to convince him to sell – plying him with booze and a couple of glamour girls for extra persuasion.

Distracted, Ash doesn’t realise that Dickie’s fixed the contract to leave the gang with only one way to score big: a horse that will win a race. Their own horse hasn’t a chance, so it’s time for the gang to rustle up a “borrowed” thoroughbred and a pot of paint.

Meanwhile, there’s a young man shadowing the gang. Billy, a street kid and short-con artist, wants in. He knows about all the great con artists and is convinced Danny Blue’s the only man who can teach him about the long con.

Unfortunately for Billy, Danny’s adamant that the perfect addition to the team is a sexy female. Billy is eager to please, but will his eagerness jeopardise the con in the meantime?
