The suave, psychedelic-era thief called Diabolik (John Philip Law) can`t get enough of life`s good - or glittery - things. Not when there are currency shipments to steal from under the noses of snooty government officials and priceless jewels to lift from the boudoirs of the super rich.

The elusive scoundrel finds plenty of wags to live up to his name in this tongue-in-cheek, live-action caper inspired hg Europe's popular Diabolik comics. He clambers up walls, zaps a press conference with Exhilaration Gas, smacks a confession out of a crime lord while freefalling with him from an airplane, and pulls off the hoist of a twenty-ton gold ingot. Impossible No, diabolical
