- A frustrated pool champion has beaten everyone. Everyone except one man - the legendary Fats Brown. Brown is dead and the champ can only curse his name. But guess who just walked in.
- Jesse Cardiff is a frustrated pool player. He's very good at his game but his frustration comes from the fact that no matter how well he plays or how often he wins, onlookers always conclude that he's not as good as the late, great James Howard "Fats" Brown. He says he would give anything to have had the chance to play Fats and his wish comes true when the man himself suddenly appears. They agree to a game but Fats warns his eager opponent that winning has its consequences as well.—garykmcd
- In Chicago, the pool player Jesse Cardiff is a frustrated man since he has beaten every pool player, but did not have a chance to dispute a game against the legend James Howard "Fats" Brown. He summons and challenges Fats, promising anything to play a game of pool with him. Out of the blue, Fats arrives and wants to bet Jesse's life if he wins the game. Jesse accepts the bet.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Jesse Cardiff has given his life to the game of pool, beating almost anyone he comes across, claiming that he is one of the greatest pool players of all time. However, much to Jesse's frustrations, many claim that Fats Brown is the true champion, and he's also dead. Jesse swears that he could beat Fats Brown, and through a twist of fate, Fats returns from the dead to challenge Jesse.
Fats chooses to place Jesse's life on the game of pool the two will play. Fats is all about trying to play a 'friendly little game,' but Jesse plays as if he's out for blood. As the game nears the end, Fats talks of how along with pool, he did other things with his life. However, Jesse takes these words to be a distraction. Finally, with one ball left to sink, Fats warns Jesse that if he does win the game, he may get more than he bargained for. Jesse proceeds to win, and revels in his victory that he has defeated Fats Brown.
Fats simply says thanks, and departs, but Jesse just continues to gloat in the victory of having finally defeated the one man everyone said was the greatest.
The scene then dissolves to sometime afterward, near a pool table in a heavenly setting, with Jesse looking beaten and downtrodden. Unknown to Jesse, is that when it comes to saying you're 'the best,' you often have to keep proving it time and time again. Fats Brown, meanwhile, having been freed of his obligations, has gone fishing.
