A charming, light-hearted caper about a beloved elderly counterfeiter and the Secret Service agent who pursues him, built on warmth, humor, and the tension between law and affection.

The Skipper is a charming old man loved by all his neighbors. What they don't know is that he is also Mr. 880, an amateurish counterfeiter who has amazingly managed to elude the Secret Service for 20 years.
