When the film opens, the Conners are settling a con on Dean Cumanno (Ray Liotta), an auto-body shop owner and small-time crook. Raymond Liotta (born December 18, 1954) is an Emmy Award -winning and Golden Globe -nominated American Actor, best known The con, which is implied has been done a number of times before on other men, involves Max marrying Dean, passing out on their wedding night, and then Page (posing as Dean's secretary) luring Dean into a compromising position to justify Max's immediate divorce and hefty settlement. The con is a success.
Page declares that she wants to go solo. Max initially relents, but when they visit the bank to split their earnings, they are confronted by an I. R. S. agent (Anne Bancroft) who declares that they owe the government a considerable sum on top of the rest of their savings, which have already been seized. Anne Bancroft ( September 17 1931 – June 6 2005) was an American method Actress. Page reluctantly agrees to work together with Max on one last con in Palm Beach. Palm Beach may refer to Places;Aruba Palm Beach Aruba, a city northwest of Oranjestad;Australia Palm Beach New South For their target, they choose widower William B. Tensy (Gene Hackman), a chain smoker who is addicted to his own product. Eugene Allen "Gene" Hackman (born January 30, 1930) is a two-time Academy Award -winning American actor and author Complicating matters is beachfront bartender Jack (Jason Lee), whom Page meets without her mother's knowledge. Jason Michael Lee (born April 25, 1970) is an American Actor and former professional skateboarder. Page learns that Jack is worth $3 million, and decides to target him for a side con. Page ends up developing genuine feelings for Jack, and reluctantly breaks it off when Max finds out and advises her to.
Tensy proposes to Max ahead of schedule, but before they can get married, he slips and chokes to death on a statue piece. While Max and Page are deciding what to do with the body, Dean arrives, having tracked Max down in order to propose to her again. Dean discovers the ruse Max and Page played on him, and threatens to expose them. Max offers to return Dean's divorce settlement money if he'll help them make Tensy's death look like an accident. Max reveals to Page that the money wasn't really taken by the I. R. S. , and the agent had in fact been Max's mentor, Barbara, in a ruse to prevent Page from leaving. But when Max, Page and Dean go to the bank, the money really has gone, liquidated in an act of betrayal by Barbara.
In order to help Max, Page decides to accept Jack's offer of marriage, planning to work it as a regular con. Page insists that Jack will not cheat on her, but is heartbroken when during the wedding night she breaks into his room and finds him in a compromising position with Max. After the divorce settlement is paid, Dean confronts Max about the ethics of their con, pointing out that even a "goody-goody" like Jack is only human. Max reveals that Jack actually turned her down, and she drugged him.
Max tells Page the truth. Page returns to Jack, giving him back the bar he'd had to sell to pay the settlement, and tells him her real name. Max and Dean also get together. The final shot of the film is of Dean romancing Barbara, with Max watching them via binoculars, implying that Max and Dean are now working together to get Max's money back.
