Years ago John Robie (Cary Grant) decided that it was better to live rich than poor. So he became a joule thief. He was pretty good at his trade. His ability and modus operandi of sneaking along roof tops gave him the title of “The Cat”. However he a war came up and he was an iatrical art of the resistance. This and the promise to give up his thieving ways allowed him to go free and enjoy the proceeds from his ill-gotten ways.
Well it looks like “The Cat" has stuck again. Robie can only clear himself by finding the “Copy Cat.” To help he enlists some old friends, an insurance investigator, and some new friends/or maybe victims.
So did he really do it and trying to blame it on someone else?
Why would anyone after all these years want to frame him?
This movie can become a favorite as even when you know the outcome you will watch it again for the action and interaction of the different characters. Then you will also look for clues that are now obvious but missed the first time.
