This week's plot is one of my all time favorites:
A Thief is betrayed by one of his colleagues, possibly even sent to prison. After he is either released from prison or recovers from the betrayal, he has a score to settle with his disloyal former associate. He assembles a motley crew of accomplices, each one with an affable personality quirk to complement his or her unique skill set. Perhaps some of them also harbor ill will toward the Betrayer. Together, they scheme to pull off a sophisticated theft/confidence scheme against their enemy, hoping also to get rich in the process. Everything goes according to plan, but in the end one of the members of the group himself appears to betray the cause, temporarily tipping the scales in favor of the Betrayer. Miraculously, our Thief has actually predicated this new betrayal and had accounted for it all along. Thief triumphs over Betrayer, who skulks away looking emasculated.
