A lighthearted period heist comedy about two charming bumbling con-men who stumble into a bank robbery scheme while navigating rivalry, romance, and their own incompetence.

Two hopelessly out of their class con-men attempt to pull off the largest bank heist of the 19th century — by gaining the enmity of the most famous bank robber in the world and the affection of a crusading newspaperwoman.
