Line 30:
At a press conference in a borrowed mansion, the "Bergstroms" announce that they are entering society and enumerate their riches, estate, and expensive car collection. Lasky's plan is to attract kidnappers, and that's who they get. But before they get the terrorists, they get Syd and Earl, who are also scammers, but small-time and stupid. Syd and Earl kidnap Lillian, but because the federal agents have attached a "beeper" to her skin, covered by a Band-aid, they move in and arrest them in a few minutes. When days pass with no (move) from the terrorists, Lasky decides to let Syd and Errol kidnap her again, and this time broadcast the news. Ella is furious, but it works; a day later, Lillian is gone. Unfortunately, so is the bleeper.
As Bunny, Ella, Lasky and the team listen anxiously, the leader of the terrorists phones with
Bunny tells Ella that he doesn't believe they should use the fake paper money; Don Ray Bergstrom can get those millions in a loan, and he is willing to take the risk in order to save Lillian's life.
Bunny and Sandhurst meet in a parking-garage cul-de-sac, Bunny with the twenty sacks of money and Sandhurst with Lillian. Bunny
Sandhurst gives up and tries to flee after setting the truck on fire.
In the denouement, Bunny and Ella are in love, and they are crushed to see Lillian return to the orphanage. A few days later, Lasky learns of more terrorists arriving and suggests that they hire the same team for the same kind of con.
