Infamous criminal George McCabe is arrested during a botched diamond heist and locked up at Braintree Prison. Lawrence Nixon, a struggling actor who is the spitting image of McCabe, is cast as McCabe in a TV reconstruction of the heist and decides to add a lisp and a camp walk to his performance. When the already furious McCabe discovers that his girlfriend is about to publish a book about his life, he plots an escape to get even.
