What A Genius, Two Friends, and an Idiot is
Their conman Joe Thanks ropes in Bill and Lucy for a $300,000 heist from Major Cabot, promising wealth but delivering disguises and double-crosses instead. Joe’s endless crimes of confidence keep the trio one step ahead of the law, if not each other. Only the audience notices he’s always three steps behind.
