synopsis
"Bergonzi" is a famed artist, whose paintings are rare collector's items. Two sharpsters bank on Bergonzi's obscurity to activate a large-scale scam. Our "heroes" utilize the talents of an immigrant artist who happens to be a brilliant forger. He's so good, in fact, that after a while we begin to suspect that he is Bergonzi. Needless to say, the deception gets quickly out of hand.
