- Back from their holiday, the team learns that an old friend and con artist, has been sent to prison. He tried to con businessman Howard Jennings in a stock deal but unfortunately for him, Jennings knew the game too well. Danny is very keen to take this fellow on and now has to devise a plan for the most difficult of marks: conning someone without them ever knowing they have ever been conned. So, they try to convince Jennings that there is possibly a gold mine in the heart of London.—garykmcd
- After the team come back from holiday, they start looking for a new mark. They find out that one of their old friends, Harry Holmes, has been put in prison by Howard Jennings, a property broker who records conversations with con-men. So Danny decides to set up a piece of land thought to have traces of gold found near where the Jubilee Collection was found. But Mickey thinks that Gold Mine con is too simple - Danny isn't covering all the angles and bets 50p on it. Firstly, Danny needs to find ways to interest Howard in the con, but he has very little experience - how far will the team go to help him? Will the team manage to convince Howard that there are traces of gold in the area and buy the property from them, or will he manage to discover the truth?—Robert Cathles
- Mickey, Danny, Albert, Ash and Stacie return from a well-earned break to discover that old time grifter Harry Holmes (played by Ronald Pickup) has been banged up. After attempting to con ruthless property developer, Howard Jennings (played by Charlie Creed Miles), Holmes may be in for a long stretch. Jennings has been stung before and won't be out-smarted by anyone - or so he thinks.....
Danny's eager to take Jennings on, but the team don't share his enthusiasm. Convinced he can pull it off, Danny makes a bet with Mickey for a mere 50p. But Mickey is worried by Danny's insistence of throwing tried and tested tradition to the wind.
With a little help from Stacie, Danny is struck by inspiration and prepares the most outrageous con that they've ever engineered. They're going to sell Jennings a gold mine - in London.
Using a genuine discovery of Bronze Age gold artefacts in London, the gang concoct a myth about these artefacts being sourced from a secret mine under London's streets.
As the scam unfolds, it appears that Jennings is falling head first into their trap. But at the crucial last stage Jennings decides to conduct his own tests on the land they are attempting to sell him - the team look to Danny for plan B, but has his harebrained scheme actually accounted for one?
