The story of a con man named Victor who rips people off to pay for his mother’s nursing home care. His scam is to go into restaurants and then force himself to choke on his food midway through his meal. When someone comes over to save his life, he keeps a record of their name and address. Having now weeded out the good Samaritans from the cynics, he then sends them letters about fictitious financial troubles and invariably they feel sorry for him and send him money.
