Charismatic, globetrotting con man Phil Kitzer, whom some called the world's greatest swindler. From the Thunderbird, the three men took off to Cleveland, to Miami, to Hawaii, to Frankfurt, to the Bahamasmeeting other members of Kitzer's crime syndicate and powerful politicians and businessmen he fooled at each stop.
