plot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scheme' is the definition.
(I know this)

'pig-headed group' is the wordplay.
'pig-headed' becomes 'p' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'group' becomes 'lot'.
'p'+'lot'='PLOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plot that I've seen before include "Story or piece of land" , "Film story; graph" , "Novel story - secret plan" , "Small area of ground" , "cook up" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
