Prometheus, who angered Zeus by giving fire to humankind, is still searching for a human hero to break Zeus's retaliatory curse. In this third installment he travels to 1785, where young con artist Sam narrates the ensuing chaos. Though the large cast and scattered plot are easy to lose track of, the fusion of period sensibilities is well played for laughs.
