Series Description:
The It Takes A Thief TV show was a 60 minute spy drama series on ABC about a cat burglar who is offered a deal while serving time in jail for his crimes. If he would steal things for the U.S. government, they would get him out of jail and give him a full pardon. He, of course, jumped at the opportunity and travelled world-wide stealing whatever Uncle Sam asked him to steal. The episodes centered around how he got past the high-tech security of other nations and procured top secret documents.
