Brassy Theresa gets the bright idea of lifting the wallet of a wealthy Middle Eastern who asks for a slow dance at the first stop of their pub-hopping journey.

The accused plotter behind last fall's hijacking of the Achille Lauro and hence a suspect in the murder of cruise ship Passenger Leon Klinghoffer, Abbas is on most-wanted lists in the U.S., Italy and Israel.
