THE TOUT
By Eric Arnold

GENRE: Comedy, Drama
LOGLINE: "The Sting" meets "Mission: Impossible," as con man Zeek Calhoun and his five member crew of completely unscrupulous grifters take the Windy City by storm. With a myriad of elaborate, never before seen scams, fortunes are lost in their wake.

SYNOPSIS:

A con man, working incognito with his shadowy crew, perpetuate big-money scams which take them from state to state, starting in Chicago. From Arlington Park Race Track to The Midwest Texas Hold 'Um Poker Slam, Zeek uses sex, greed, and sometimes high technology to manipulate his victims into giving up cold, hard cash without the victims knowing they've been had until it's too late. The pace is fast as team member Moff moves from location to location carrying out instructions masterminded by the voice without a face, a la "Charlie" from Charlie's Angels. C Baby, the voluptuous counterpart to Moff, uses her sexual prowess to lure in Arlington Park Race Track jockey Dave Sisting for the ride he will never forget (in more ways than one). Team members Marvin, Moby, and Scotty Fontaine burst on to the televised Midwest Texas Hold 'Um poker tournament. They cruise to any easy win via Zeek's instructions and a mechanical cockroach. Events and cash culminate at "The Drop Zone," where a disgruntled and badly beaten former team member attempts to exact revenge on Zeek Calhoun.
