Description: The Persuaders are two equally-matched men from different backgrounds who reluctantly team together to solve cases that the police and the courts cannot. Danny Wilde, portrayed by Tony Curtis, is a rough diamond, educated and molded in the slums of New York City, who escaped by enlisting in the US Navy. He later became a millionaire in the oil business, subsequently making and then losing several fortunes as a Wall Street investor. Listless and without purpose, he jets around the world spending his money on frivolous ventures.
