Guy Van Stratten, a small-time American smuggler working in Europe, is at the scene of the murder of a man named Bracco. The dying man whispers two names that he claims are very valuable, one of which is Gregory Arkadin. Using this small bit of information and lots of bluffing, Van Stratten manages to meet the apparent multi-millionaire business magnate and socialite Arkadin. Arkadin hires Van Stratten to research his own past, of which he claims to have no memory before 1927.

Film Noir Theater is a TUTV special presentation of classic movies from the 40s of the film noir genre.
Mr. Arkadin
