Synopsis:

Benson, is a Casanova who despises women and invents all sorts of tricks to bed them and leave them. His favorite one is going through Germany posing as an American GI of Teunonic extraction. Whenever he spots a girl he likes, he takes a Polaroid picture of her house, knocks on the door waving the photo and pretending to be on a pilgrimage to this very cottage his grandmother so vividly described. It is an infallible system for a hit-and-run seduction. Benson seems content with his game until he meets Jamison, a real operator who has learned to combine sex with money. Jamison poses as an exiled prince and not only gets women to share his bed but also to bestow their jewels on him for the sake of the counterrevolution. Benson decides to corner Jamison's market on sex plus finance. A contest develops, and whoever wins will dominate a small Riviera resort as "King of the Mountain," the film's original title. Remade in 1988 as "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."

In this 1960s comedy, Freddy Benson (Marlon Brando) and Lawrence 'The Prince' Jameson (David Niven) are two charming scoundrel confidence trickster gigolos who prey on wealthy women taking holidays on the French Riviera. The pair join a playful competition to see who is best at the job, and the target is cute Janet Walker (Shirley Jones), better known as the "American Soap Queen." Who can extract $25,000 first

The story of two gigolos who vie to see which is the best at their profession.
