Smooth talking financial adviser F, Morgan Russell (guest Robert Dishy) convinces naive Papa Leone (guest Vito Scotti) that his business acumen will triple the existing $450,000 bakers' union pension fund, of which Papa is caretaker. But in reality, Russell is part of a professional bunco ring out to fleece innocent victims. When the sly McCoy learns of Papa’s suicide attempt after Russell's big swindle, he plans an elaborate caper, requiring the help of Gibbs, who happens to be trying his luck as a film director with a cast hired by McCoy. The scheme: to recover the $450,000 and put Russell and his associate, big-time loan shark Boylin (Richard A. Dysart), behind bars.
