1.
Eddie, an inner-city con man with a gift for mimicry, gets in hot water with a gangster and has to find a place to hide out quick. He breaks into a palatial suburban home while the owners are away and dupes everyone into thinking he's the housesitter. Posing as a successful businessman, he wins the respect of the owners' family and the heart of their attractive daughter. As Eddie and his partner attempt to get the vengeful gangster off their backs by besting him in a complicated sting, Eddie wrestles with the biggest problem of all: finding a way to reveal his true identity to the girl without losing her love.

Eddie and Lou are a couple of two-bit con men on the lam from a loan shark. They hide out in someone's house and they hear on the answering machine that (A) the owner of the house is out of the country for a month or two and (B) the housesitter supposed to watch the house for the absent owner won't be able to watch the house due to a new job in another part of the country. This provides for a pretty nifty arrangement for Eddie and Lou...until the relatives of the house owner drop by to visit. Eddie quickly adopts the guise of the person supposedly housesitting for the owner, and the shenanigans start from there.
