Steve Glew was a part-time flea market vendor when he was introduced to the world of PEZ dispensers. Learning collectors would pay big money for rare versions of the popular candy holders, Glew hatched a plan to visit Eastern Europe and get dispensers not available in the US.

Connoisseurs marveled at Glew’s collection of rare dispensers and paid top dollar for them. But the president of the company’s US subsidiary flipped his lid...and vowed to shut down the bootleg operation any way he could.

The documentary “The PEZ Outlaw” profiles Steve Glew and his attempt to outsmart the candy maker and corner the collectibles market. Glew plays himself in light-hearted recreations of his smuggling operation and features diehard collectors and corporate antagonists to recount how the operation flourished and eventually collapsed.

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE PEZ OUTLAW" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 7 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
