Catch Me If You Can
PlotFrank Jr is a teenager living in 60s America. His father runs into trouble with the IRS, forcing the family to move. On Franks Jr's first day at his new school he successfully impersonates a French supply teacher. Frank Jr realise that he's got a natural talent for fooling people.
His parents then file for divorce, and Frank Jr leaves the unhappy home. After a hard time making ends meet, Frank Jr starts passing off cheques. One day he notices some airline pilots enjoying the high life outside a plush hotel. A bright idea strikes. He contacts a supplies clerk at Pan Am, saying that his hotel has lost his uniform, and that he needs a replacement. The deception works. Dressed in his snappy pilot's uniform, Frank Jr's career as a con-artist takes off.
