Angels
on Ice
Charlie’s
Angels
“Dissidents
from the undergrounds of six Arab countries” infiltrate an ice show in
Los Angeles, cast, crew and security guards, to assassinate oil sheiks during a
performance amidst an OPEC meeting.
Kelly undercover
does a belly dance for appreciative conspirators, one of whom (Timothy Carey)
observes, “Tomorrow our country will be in the hands of true
patriots.”
Kris is a clown
on skates, Sabrina works the crowd. The big number is danced with flags and
muskets (surreptitiously converted into automatic weapons). Phil Silvers runs
the show, Jim Backus tends the equipment, Edward Andrews is a wino up a tree who descends to beg alms from the entering sheiks and is
balked by their bodyguards.
Angels in Vegas

Somebody’s
doing the dirt on a Vegas hotelier, “this is a clean house,” he won
it in a crap game (3 days/3 nights).
The lounge singer
sees his own wife die, a dancer, longing for an affair with the boss. Various
crimes redound from this, and a plot to beat the house with a handheld
computer.
The odds are
played on Don’t Pass. “Sooner or later,” says the hotelier,
dice in hand, “you have to be a believer.”
Dean Martin has
the role, a dapper and sophisticated man whose name is Frank.
