Inspired by Titanic Thompson, the greatest hustler of all time, Alex Conrad begins his journey in Dallas, Texas, where he engages in a ludicrous proposition bet to get a free car rental upgrade by throwing a walnut over a building. Then, following Titanic Thomson's trail, he hits the road with cons up his sleeve, meeting pool hustlers and card sharks. He tests his mettle by teaching a new dog an old trick, throwing cards to win a hat, and getting chased by a man in an elevator.
