The winning line is certainly a plausible one. You win spadeK and lead a heart to the jack, hoping for the best. When that holds you cash ace and king of trumps only to see that West has begun with heartQ986. Undeterred, you cash four rounds of clubs and are delighted to see that that West has to follow each time - he began with club10543. Things are getting interesting.
