Its New York in 1990. In midtown Manhattan, King Solomons Treasure is a shop where curios, collectables, and vintage items are for sale, things as disparate as a 30-year-old bottle of Orange Crush and a baseball signed by Jackie Robinson. The store is run by an elderly chap, born when the 20th Century was young, a Holocaust survivor whose adventures have taken him to different parts of the globe. Franz Altman is a man who has accumulated enough decades of experiences to make him a very appropriate choice to run a store trafficking in memories.Franz has a little store, but a development corporation is trying to force him out, so that the developers can put a great big steel-and-concrete structure where the King Solomons Treasure now stands. Smelling a story, Susan Carmichael, a beautiful young reporter for People Magazine, visits Franz with the object of obtaining an interview, She becomes his ally in a plan to fend off the pitiless advances of the soulless development corporation. Can Franz and Susan succeed against the forces of dubious progress?Written by Charles Dennis. Directed by Ron Orbach. Starring Charles Dennis and Stevie-Jean Placek.
Ages: 12 to Adult.
