Storyline

Marsha, a con artist with a conscience, has agreed to take on an unusual scheme in order to pay off a debt to a lawyer who helped out her brother. An elderly millionaire is about to die, and the entire fortune has been willed to a stripper named Jean, who is unaware of the windfall awaiting her. Marsha's task is to get to know Jean well enough that she can impersonate her at the reading of the will and take the inheritance for herself. Taking a job at the same strip club, the pair soon bond, but will Marsha's feelings for her new friend outweigh her need to help pay off her brother's debt?

User Reviews

Hey, it's another chance to see Audie England.

Yes, it was bad, as bad as movies can usually get. The acting was tolerable, and there really wasn't much story as con artists try to con the marks and each other. The ending was corny and poorly written.

But the whole point was to get another chance to see the lovely Audie England (Delta of Venus, Free Enterprise), and we did get to see her. Wow! I am so glad she decided to appear on this side of the camera instead of becoming a cinematographer.

We get a bonus as this film also included the gorgeous Kathy Ireland, the former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition model. We just have to imagine what lies beneath with Ireland as she has one of those Sandra Bullock no-nudity clauses in her contracts. But, it was fun imagining.
