Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

Josh Wheeler has it good these days as the entertainment director at a golf resort in the Bahamas, but he used to be a pretty active criminal. He owes his freedom to the fact that one of his compatriots went to jail in his stead when he bungled their getaway attempt after a robbery. Now that same man is asking him to do him a favor by arranging free stays for a group of gangsters. In order to explain their presence at the resort, he tells his boss that they're golfing big-shots, and as a result he has to stage a phony tournament for the golfing-impaired thugs to be involved in. What's more, he has to make sure the results of the tourney are profitable to the gangsters, or else...
