Toby, disguised as a charming and wealthy businessman, takes advantage of Dagwood's trusting nature and convinces him to invest in a phony business venture. As Dagwood becomes more deeply entangled in Toby's web of deceit, his usually sharp instincts are clouded by his enthusiasm for making a profit.
