The Dukes choose to manipulate the lives of Louis Winthorpe III, a wealthy investor, and Billy Ray Valentine, a street hustler.

Louis is a privileged Wall Street investor, while Billy Ray is a sharp-witted con artist. The Dukes decide to switch their positions, giving Louis a taste of life on the streets and making Billy Ray the new golden boy of the financial industry.
