This comedy finds a veteran crook turning to modern computer technology to steal money from various companies. Even before he is released from jail Caesar (Peter Ustinov) is planning his high-tech heist. He cons American executive Klemper (Karl Malden) and sets up three bogus companies to receive funds from the corporate office. Klemper's faithful assistant Gnatpole (Bob Newhart) is suspicious and investigates the unusual activities. Smith (Robert Morley) gives Caesar the computer lesson that puts him on the fast track to thievery. Caesar marries Patty (Maggie Smith), who surprises her husband by earning more money than her crooked spouse by honest means. Cesar Romero is the smiling customs official who lets Caesar pass through with a bagful of money from the crime while Klemper's jar of instant coffee falls under suspicion. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Created by former British prep-school teacher Anthony Buckeridge in the immediate postwar years, Jennings was an insatiably curious and relentlessly mischievous schoolboy, the bane of every adult who dared to cross his path. Along with his co-conspirator Darbisher, Jennings unwittingly upset classroom decorum, inadvertently made a shambles of every professional institution within his range of vision, and (on the plus side) solved mysteries on behalf of the local constabulary. After debuting as the hero of a BBC radio series in 1948, Jennings enjoyed a lengthy literary career in children's books, and on at least two occasions was brought to British television. One such effort was the six-episode Jennings, starring David Schulten in the title role and Robert Bartlett as Darbyshire. This Jennings was telecast from September 5 to October 10, 1966. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
