How do you catch an international treasure thief who can TRAVEL IN TIME?

The Mona Lisa ...Queen Victoria's Crown Jewels ...nothing is safe! But the next item on the thief's list is no diamond. It's Mel himself. Before Mel knows it he's been kidnapped and stranded in the past. He's back in time, and back in trouble!
