Synopsis of The Sting II starring Jackie Gleason, Karl Malden, Terri Garr, Oliver Reed - courtesy of Amazon.com

This is another one of those movies that’s a sequel to another, only with different actors playing the roles of the characters from the previous movie. In this one, the roles played by Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Robert Shaw, are played by Jackie Gleason, Mac Davis, and Oliver Reed, respectively. In this one Lonigan is planning to get back at Gondorf and Hooker for bilking him out of half a million. At the same time Gondorf and Hooker are planning their next caper. And their mark is a man named Macalinski, who makes Lonigan look like a pussycat. Their con is boxing match and Hooker is the fighter whom they have to make look good but Macalinski needs some convincing, and Hooker is a little rusty.
