Paper Moon

In 1935, conman Moses Pray (Ryan O'Neal) accidentally witnesses the funeral of a woman and is persuaded to take the deceased's daughter, Addie (Tatum O'Neal), to her distant aunt in St. Joseph. Moses only does this because he senses a business opportunity by first blackmailing the man whose son is responsible for Addie's mother's death for 200 dollars. Addie finds out about the blackmail and demands the money. She also suspects that Moses, whom she has never seen before, could be her father. When she finds out about Moses' trickery, she quickly develops helpful skills. Does she really have her father's genes?
