Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is set in the exotic French Riviera. For years, Lawrence Jameson has made his living by fleecing rich women out of their money. He believes he is the best in the game until he meets Freddy Benson. Freddy takes a different, but effective approach, playing on the women’s emotion. The men decide to work together, but a clash of egos ends that plan.
