Swell racket?
I saw a movie and there was the phrase "I figured out a swell racket."
I kinda know both "swell" (become larger) and "racket" (fraud?), but I do not understand them all together.
Please help me!

"Swell" is 1920s era slang for "good." A swell racket is some kind of good (or successful) scheme or scam.

"Swell" can also be used as a slang form to mean "great", "super" or "appealing". It's a fairly old slang expression - makes me think of the language in old black-and-white movies.
