Episode 3

There’s a new grifter in town and he’s in search of a great crew.
This stranger turns out to be the grandson of the legendary 19thcentury
American con-artist, James Whittaker Wright I (JW1), who
made a fortune flogging fake gold mines on the stock market by
using Cornfoots’ Merchant Bank.
When JW1’s fortune became too much for the bank, they turned
on him and left him to die penniless. His grandson, James
Whittaker Wright III (JW3), has come to avenge his death.
Initially wary, the Hustle crew accept the challenge – bringing down
a greedy bank and outwitting a fellow grifter is far too tempting.
With the gang’s expertise, they’re going to take Quenton and
Charles Cornfoot down.
Danny poses as a brash city entrepreneur eager to float his mining
company on the stock market, while Stacie plays a market analyst
working on the inside. Having agreed to set up the flotation, the
Cornfoots employ a Dutch oil consultant – Ash – to fuel rumours
about the company’s impending success and start selling shares to
JW3 and Albert, their newly found investors.
Danny irritates the Cornfoots to the point of no return – they
turn sour and plot his downfall. Fully prepared, the team up their
game, but while their attention is focused on the marks, they
forget just how devious JW3 is. He’s sure to double-cross them; it’s
not a matter of if, but when.After all, the greatest con of all is to
con another grifter.
