John
Robie is a retired burgler living in high style on the
Riviera; he was known as "the cat". Now he has to find out a new "cat" who is copying his "way" of working; he wants to keep this new wave of jewel thefts from being pinned on him. He meets Jessie Stevens who is in Europe to help her daughter Frances find a good husband; she is one of the copycat's victims and, at the beginning, she is not sure of Robie's innocence. During a party John catches the thief after a run on roofs using his "old cat" ability and at the same time he catches Frances' heart too. |
