This comedy follows the misadventures of two completely incompetent con men who, in desperation, try their hands at the art of "gold digging." Cal and Lenny are two grifters who dream of the fabled "good life," including big bucks, cool parties, fast cars and hot women. However, after a string of failed robbery attempts, including a simple purse snatching that goes horribly wrong, Cal and Lenny turn to gold digging, and eventually marry two elderly sisters, thinking they will inherit the sisters' fortune and Beverly Hills estate once the ladies pass away.
