FBI director Jack Devine always sets up his brother Joe as undercover to trick mobsters. His latest cover is as movie producer Joe Diamond to get Tommy Sanz for Teamster racketeering.

When a former Oscar nominee volunteers to star the cover gets out of hand till everyone believes in it even the FBI brass- or not?
