I believe the answer is:

plot

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

'conspiracy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pigheaded group' is the wordplay.
'pigheaded' becomes 'p' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'group' becomes 'lot'.
'p'+'lot'='PLOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plot that I've seen before include "Graph; piece of ground" , "Contrive" , "Conspire - small piece of land" , "Design" , "Small piece of ground" .)
