Richie Greene's (Frank Whaley) luck is about to run out. His latest con has failed miserably and now he can't repay Paulie (Dan Riordan), a merciless loan shark who has promised to start removing Richie's fingers until he pays up. And then...the phone rings. On the line is an offer he can't refuse: to look after his ailing grandmother Clyde (Marion Ross), who he's never even met. As Clyde's only living relative, Richie would also be the only heir to her estate. In need of a hideout, a decent scam, and a nice inheritance, Richie says hello to Hicksville...only to discover that Clyde is anything BUT the naïve old lady knocking on death's door he'd hoped for...
