Father Jackleg

Father Jackleg centers on a premise that unfolds like this: A con man inherits a gold mine. Knowing that his family are even bigger con artists than he is, he assumes the mine is worthless, and teams up with a partner in a scheme to unload it on some unsuspecting chumps. However, the other members of his family discover that the gold mine is actually worth a lot of money, and they set out to take it from him before he realizes what he has.

The pacing rewards patient viewers, layering small details that pay off later. The tagline — "Con Man - Swindler - Chicken Thief! When it Came to Stealing He Forged the Book!" — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.
