The Charlie Argos Story

Summary Prohibition has come to an end and bootlegger Frank "The King" Argos has also come to the end of his life. He asks Ness to be the executor of his estate. Ness declines, for obvious reasons. Argos has left everything to his son Charlie, who was declared missing in action at the very end of World War I. When his former minions (Arno Beale and Marcy Devon, played by Christopher Dark and Patricia Owens) find that life without Argos's money is not to their liking, they recruit and train someone to pose as the long-lost Charlie. The man they've chosen (played by Robert Vaughn, better known as Napoleon Solo on "The Man from UNCLE"), however, seems to know more about Charlie's childhood than they do. He passes an interrogation and some trick questions by Argos's lawyer with flying colors, during which some old but hard (and very interesting) facts emerge.
