Sammy
Davis, Jr. Kidnap Caper
Charlie’s
Angels
The real Sammy Davis,
Jr. is almost kidnapped in a men’s room but a drunk stumbles in and
frightens the crooks. “You all right, Flip?”, the drunk asks,
thinking it’s Flip Wilson.
The star hosts a
charity fashion show at the Cocoanut Grove and now has angelic bodyguards hired
by his agent (his accountant is in on the kidnappings). A ringer from back East
wins the Celebrity Lookalike Contest after the show, though he complains about
the resemblance. Kidnapped and suspected as a phony to be eliminated, he breaks
into a hasty tap dance.
The real Sammy
Davis, Jr. meets his double, safely restored to his chain of liquor stores and
soon to open a new branch, Boozeteria West.
