The New Heist
Our story begins with Wanda Gerschitz (Jamie Lee Curtis), still being the flirting con-woman, attempting to manipulate George Thomason (Tom Georgeson) for yet another grand heist, but this time it isn't a safe at Hatton Garden, instead it is a highly confidential cryptocurrency software developed by an elusive tech giant. She tries to plant the idea of stealing the prototype software which could control the world economy, into George's head.
Meanwhile, Otto West (Kevin Kline) stays true to his moronic self, failing hilariously at grasping the concept of cryptocurrency. Yet, his faith in Wanda and the promise of the rewards from the heist is enough motivation for him to tag along.
Facing the Digital World
Otto, after several botched attempts and humorous situations, he finally starts to understand the technological intricacies of the digital world with the help of various web forums and Google's help pages. Meanwhile, Wanda's attention gets caught by the handsome and shrewd app developer, Ken Pile (Michael Palin).
Wanda tries to use her charm to influence Ken into revealing key information about the app but Ken, the strict professional, remains unenthusiastic about her advances, leading to a series of comedic scenes. She poses as a tech reporter and starts interviewing Ken surreptitiously trying to gather sensitive but crucial information.
The Battle of the Brains
As the stage is set, the characters are all prepared for the epic face-off between brains and wits surrounding the software heist. With hilarious instances of near-bust scenarios, mistaken identities, and botched up plans, the comedy buzz captivates the audience.
Amid the chaos, sudden twists emerge where the unparalleled Otto manages to access the software and the oblivious Wanda seems to have fallen for Ken. Just when victory seemed within their grasp, it all spirals into the next chapter of confusion and bouts of laughter for the audience.
