Here is the official press release and it's description,"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels centers on two con men living on the French Riviera. The first is suave and sophisticated con artist Lawrence Jameson (played by John Lithgow), who makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. The other, a smalltime crook named Freddy Benson (played by Norbert Leo Butz), more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health. After meeting on a train, they unsuccessfully attempt to work together only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress Christine Colgate, wins and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues, bringing out the best and worst in each man.
